MEDICINE
It is the responsibility of the parents and/or guardians to inform the principal and appropriate teachers if a student is subject to any medical need that requires regular or periodic attention while at school.
If prescription or non prescription medicine must be taken during school hours, the principal or his/her designee will supervise the taking of the medicine by the student. The student must bring all medication to the school office immediately when coming to school. NO MEDICATION MAY BE KEPT IN A CLASSROOM.
No medication of any kind shall be prescribed by or dispensed by school personnel without a signed permission/release form, from the parents or legal guardian, on file. Over the counter medications, such as Tylenol, cough drops, etc. will not be dispensed. Inhalants may be kept with the student as long as a doctor's note is on file in the office.
In circumstances when a child must take medication during school hours, he must have a written note from his/her parent or guardian AND a doctor's statement stating the following information which shall be placed in the child's cumulative file. Forms are available in the school office.

All medicine should be clearly labeled and the student's name must be on the container. Top priority will be given to the security of the medication.
