Medication Administration Policy and Procedures

When students are transporting medications to/from home to school on the school bus, student must keep medication in an original child proof container and in a closed environment (i.e. book bag, purse, etc) at all times during bus transportation.
Students are responsible for taking the medications directly to the office/clinic upon immediate arrival to school.

When possible, student medications should be administered by a parent or guardian at home. However, medications may be administered by the school principal, his or her designee, or the school nurse in accordance with system administrative procedure.
The parent or guardian must obtain the Authorization to Give Medications at School Form at the school or download from this site.
The form is updated annually and the form must contain the following:
Student’s name
