The school shall administer over-the-counter medication for a maximum of three consecutive days. It is the District's philosophy that if the student requires over-the-counter medication for more than three days, they should be seen by a physician.
Each school building has a limited stock of over-the-counter medications for the school year, therefore, parents are highly encouraged to bring in their over-the-counter medications, and they can be kept in the nurse's office for your child to use. Nonprescription medication (e.g., Tylenol) may be administered to students by school personnel with written instructions and consent by the parent/guardian or adult student. The non-prescription must be delivered to school personnel by the student's parent/guardian or adult student.
For your student to receive any school stock over-the-counter medications at school (Tylenol, ibuprofen, Tums, cough drops), a parent/guardian must have the medical consent filled out online on Skyward. If that consent is NOT filled out, your child will NOT be able to take any school stock medications.
