Prescription Medication
1. A doctor’s signature with written instruction
2. Written consent from the parent for the school to give the medication.
3. Medication is in a properly labeled prescription bottle.

Non-prescription Medication
1. Written consent from the parent with instructions for the school to give the medication.
2. Medication must be in the original container.

Students may not carry medication at school with the exception of prescription inhalers and epinephrine auto injectors with a doctor’s written permission.

Please deliver medication to the school office.

A new medication form is needed each time the medication is changed.

A new medication form is needed for each school year.

Medication forms are available on our district website (see link on right), at your school or local clinic.
