All medications must be provided by the parent and kept in the health center. Medication must be brought to the health center by a parent/guardian and the proper permission form signed. This includes Tylenol, Neosporin, cough drops, antacids, hydrogen peroxide, sinus medication, Ibuprofen, any other over-the-counter medication, or prescription medicine prescribed for your child.
Prescription medication must be in its original container with the prescription label attached. A new requirement for prescription medications began during the 2018-19 school year: parents must have the prescribing provider fill out a "Medication Doctor Order" form - which can be found and printed off the "Forms" tab.
The health center does not provide any stock of medication. Students are not allowed to carry any medication on their person. Special provisions can be made for the use of emergency medications, such as inhalers and epi pens, but this must be arranged through the nurse.
