Medication and Allergies

Medication:
We encourage parents/guardians to administer medication before and after school; however, if a student must bring medication to school, the following requirements must be met:

1. A request form must be completed by the parent/guardian and the child's physician before any prescription or non-prescription medication can be given to your child at school.
2. All medication must be in the original, childproof container.
3. Each container must have an affixed and legible label with the child's name, name of the medication, dosage, and time of administration.
4. A new request must be made each school year and, as necessary, for changes in the medication order.
5. The medication should be brought to the Main Office by the parent/guardian.

Food Allergies
If your child has a food allergy and cannot eat certain foods, make sure the school cafeteria has a note from your child’s physician specifying what type of food allergy your child has and the appropriate substitute. Parents may simply call their physician’s office to obtain a note.
