RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES FOR
MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION IN SCHOOL
The purpose of administering medications in school is to help each child maintain an optimal state of health that may enhance his/her educational plan. The medications shall be those required during school hours that are necessary to provide the student access to the educational program. The intent of these guidelines is to reduce the number of medications given in school, yet assure safe administration of medications for those children who require them. GUIDELINES
All prescription medications given in school must be prescribed by a doctor. A written order from the prescribing doctor must be provided and name of the medicine, dosage and time intervals that the medicine is to be taken should also be included. Any over-the-counter medication needs the parent authorization completed and on file at school. (see other side for authorization) Medication must be brought to school in the original package or appropriately labeled container. Over-the-counter medication shall be brought in with the manufacturer’s original label and the child’s name affixed to the container. Written parent/guardian consent is to be placed on file requesting that the medication be given during school hours. Any questions regarding these guidelines can be made by contacting Milne Grove School at 838-0542 or Kelvin Grove School at 838-0737.
