Medication Drop off reminder:

If your child will need medication during the school year, the attached medication form must be completed by your doctor or nurse practitioner.  Additional forms can be found on the HCPSS website. If your child will be in band, orchestra, or chorus next year, consider requesting the doctor to include a "self-carry/self-administer" order for your child's emergency medications (epipens, inhalers) for extended day and weekend field trips. Orders for each new school year must be dated on or after July 1.  All medications must be in containers properly labeled with the following information: 

  • Student Name    

  • Medication name

  • Dosage to be given

  • Time and frequency of medication

  • Date of medication order

  • Prescriber's name

  •  Expiration date of medication

 

Over-the-counter medications such as cold, allergy, and headache medications should be brought to the health room in new, unopened containers.

*Medications should be delivered to school by a parent/guardian to assure safe arrival.  Students should not transport medications.
