Parents must request that the school administer any necessary medications for their children. This request must be supported in writing by a medical Doctor.

The medication must be brought from home by a reliable adult. The medication container must have the dispensing instructions noted on it, and it must have the official label of the pharmacy. This container of medication should be strictly for use of school, and should not be shunted back and forth between the home and the school.

All medications in the school, which are to be administered to specific students, must be kept under lock. If refrigeration is required, the medication must be placed in a locked container in the refrigerator.

The principal shall designate a staff member who must take the responsibility of keeping the schedule and maintaining the “DAILY MEDICATION RECORD”. This responsibility must be assigned to another person in the event that the designated individual is absent.

The principal shall be responsible for ensuring that appropriate forms are developed for the administration of this policy and regulations.
