ALL medications on campus (including over-the counter/non-prescription and prescription) need to be documented and kept in the Health Office. A medication form needs to be filled-out by the child's physician, and signed by the physician and the parent or guardian. The parent/guardian will be responsible for coming to school to give the child medication if the medication form is incomplete or the child has no medication form at school.
"California Ed. Code requires written parent AND physician permission for any medication, even OTC medications, to be administered or taken at school. The Ed. Code allows students, with written physician’s permission on file, to carry emergency medication (such as asthma inhaler or epipen) with them. All other medications must be administered through the Health Office."
ALL Medication orders must be renewed annually by the school year.
