Medication at School

Are children allowed to bring medication to school?

No, for safety reasons children are not allowed to bring medication to school.  This refers to prescription medications, over the counter medications and homeopathic supplements.

The school nurse is responsible for giving all medications to students.  During field trips, the nurse will delegate medication administration to the child's teacher or support staff member.

Parents are responsible for delivering medications to the school nurse.  Some medications must be counted by both the parent and school nurse.
