The Clinic does not dispense Over-the-Counter Medications to Students.
Students are allowed to carry OTC medications in their backpack as long as it is labeled with the student's name and is in its original store purchased travel size container. OTC medication is not to be shared with other students, if so disciplinary actions are possible.
All Prescribed Medications must be dispensed through the Clinic and have a Medication Permit Form on file.
Medication dispensed through the Clinic must be in its original container labeled with the student's name, name of the medication, and administering instructions. The exceptions are EpiPens, rescue inhalers and Insulin, these emergency medications can be carried by students once their Action Plan is completed.
If your child has been prescribed any emergency medication such as an EpiPen (allergies), a rescue inhaler (asthma), insulin (diabetes or hyperglycemia), and/or glucagon (hypoglycemia), parents must provide the following forms and medications to the Clinic with NO exceptions:
- Action Plan completed by your physician and parent
- Medication consent form signed by your physician and parent
- Emergency medication prescribed by your child’s physician in the original pharmacy container with the original pharmacy label
Any prescribed medication found on a student without a Medication Permit Form on file in the Clinic will result in medication being removed from student and possible disciplinary actions.
All student medications must be picked up from the Clinic at the end of the school year. Medications will be discarded if not picked up either by parent or student.
If your child has other health conditions that may need to be addressed, please contact the Clinic.
