Medication Administration

Medication Authorization Form

All medication (including over-the-counter medications) requiring administration at school must:

  1. Be brought to school by the parents/guardians and turned into the school office, along with the Medication Authorization Form. This form must be completed by a healthcare provider licensed under the Illinois Medical Practice Act and signed by a parent/guardian prior to medication being given. Medications may not be sent to school with students. All medication must be delivered by a parent/guardian or other authorized adult to school.
     
  2. The medication must be in the original container and have an appropriate label. Unidentified medication or medication not provided in an original container cannot be accepted.
     
  3. All medication must be counted and verified by the school nurse and parent/guardian when delivered to the health office.
     
  4. The Medication Authorization Form must be renewed annually if needed in the next school year.
     
  5. Any changes in a medication, dose, or time will require a written order from the licensed prescriber.
     
  6. The medication must be picked up by a parent/guardian at the end of the year or when the medication is discontinued. Medication that is not picked up at the end of the school year or summer program will be discarded.
