Most medications can be taken before and after school at home. However, if your child needs medication at school, that medication must be brought to school by a parent, guardian, neighbor, friend or grandparent. In order for the nurse to give medication, she must have a doctor s written order for over the counter medications and prescriptions. Forms can be picked up in the office. Sometimes doctor s offices have the forms on hand.
Doctors can also write written orders on their prescription forms.
Written orders can also be completed by fax. Emergency Cards Please make sure emergency cards are completed each year and returned to school. Keep the cards updated with any new telephone numbers.
