HEALTH AND SAFETY Medication Policy Non-Prescription/Over-The-Counter (OTC) Medication The School does not administer OTC medication to students. Parents have the choice of coming to school and administering it themselves or sending it with students with written, signed instructions. School staff members are not responsible for students taking OTC medications. Self-Administration of Allergy/Asthma Medication The self-administration of medicine for the treatment of anaphylactic reactions or asthma is allowed for all students. Students who need to self-administer PRN (as needed) allergy or asthma medication (inhalants, meds, EpiPen) will have these medications or devices kept in the first aid kit of the appropriate classroom. Parents should sign the Student Annual Health Information Sheet at the beginning of each school year. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure that these devices/medications are up-to-date. Also, parents should send extra medication/devices from home with students on field trips or other off-campus school-sponsored activities. Medication/devices will be sent home with the student at the end of the school year. Prescription Medication A student is eligible to take medication at school if it is to be given more than 3 times a day. If possible, medication administration at school is strongly discouraged. When your child must have prescription medication of any type (over-the-counter meds, inhalers or daily meds) during school hours, you have the following options: • Discuss with your doctor an alternative schedule of medication administration so it can be given outside the school hours. • When the medication is prescribed three times daily, your child should be given the medication before coming to school, after returning home from school and before bedtime. • You may come to school and administer the medication yourself.
