Forms are available via the above link, each school, or the physician’s office.

• Over-the-counter medicines will require a Provider/Parent Authorization form to be signed by both the parent and the Physician. Over-the-counter
  medicines will no longer be accepted or administered without a physician’s authorization.
• All medicines given at school must be brought in by the parent/guardian. Medicines should never be brought in by the student. When a medicine is
  brought in by the parent, the pills/capsules must be counted by the parent and school nurse before the parent is allowed to leave the medicine.
• All medicines must be in a pharmacy-labeled container. An over-the-counter medicine must be in a new unopened package.
• Any student who needs over-the-counter medications during school hours but who does not have a physician’s signed authorization may have the
  parent/guardian come to school and administer the child medicine if so needed.
• Students with Epi-pens and asthma inhalers will need to meet with the school nurse before an Epi-pen or inhaler is left at school.
