PLEASE DO NOT SEND MEDICATIONS
TO SCHOOL IN YOUR CHILD'S BACKPACK, POCKET, ETC. THE DISTRICT
HAS A VERY STRICT DRUG POLICY WHICH APPLIES TO LEGAL, AS WELL
AS ILLEGAL DRUGS.
*********************************************************************************
Periodically, parents request that medication be given to students
during school hours. The medication administration procedures
are closely monitored by the school nurse. All medications,
including vitamins and cough drops, must be turned in to the nurse
upon arrival at school.
A parent's or guardian's signature is required for any medications to be administered at school. If the appropriate district form is not available, the parent may request administration by signing a handwritten note for the school nurse. The medication will be given for one day, and the ASD form will be sent home with the student or you can download the form from the PDF link below. This form should be completed, signed and returned to the school nurse to continue administration of the medication.
Nonprescription Medications; Over-The-Counter (OTC):
Approved nonprescription medications include acetaminophen
(Tylenol), Ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil), Naproxen (Aleve), Midol, or other.
Approved nonprescription medications can be given for the duration of the school year on an as needed basis for headaches, menstrual cramps, dental, or other. Parents must supply medication in
the original manufacturer's container.

The school nurse in consultation with the parent, physician, supervisor of Health Services or medical advisory committee may deny any written medication request not deemed necessary to maintain sufficient health and participation in the school program. Medication requests which cannot be administered by school personnel may be denied.
