Medications
According to state law the school nurse, parent/guardian, school physician and substitute nurse are the only individuals who can administer prescription AND over the counter medications during school hours and during school sponsored activities. All medication must be brought to the school health office by the parent/guardian in the original container, appropriately labeled with the name of the student, medication, dosage, prescription number, date, and physician or health care provider.
