Medications (including aspirin, acetaminophen, and cough drops, etc.) will not be administered without proper authorization. Students who are required to take medicine prescribed by a physician during regular school hours will be assisted by the school nurse if the school receives the medication in its original container along with:
- A written statement from the physician detailing the method, amount, and schedule by which the medication is to be taken, and
- A written statement from the parent/guardian requesting the nurse to assist the student.
These signed statements will be kept on file.
