Medications
Only medication that is necessary to be given during the school day will be kept at school. Discuss with your healthcare provider about the time(s) of day that the medicine is needed. If possible, try to arrange to administer at home. By Oregon law, if medication must be given at school, a parent/guardian must:
- Provide written permission (forms below). Any change to the medication dose or schedule will require the parent to update the medication form and provide a current prescription from the prescriber.
- Make sure all medication (prescription and over the counter) is in its original container and marked with the student’s name.
- All medication must be delivered to school by the parent or responsible adult designated by the parent. Students may not keep medications with them unless they have been identified as a self-manager, are cleared by the principal and RN to do so and have the self-manager medication form completed (form below).
- Pick up medication when it is no longer needed at school. All medications not picked up at the end of the student’s school year will be destroyed.
