Medication

Students are not allowed to take medication at school without a written statement from the licensed physician who prescribed the medication and a written authorization from the parent/guardian.  This includes over-the-counter medication.  All medication must be delivered to the office in the original pharmacy container.

In the case of medication which must be administered several times a day, parents are expected to administer dosages at home.  It is recommended that sick students remain at home to receive proper attention.
