Nurse's Medication Statement:

Whenever possible, medicine should be administered at home. Occasionally, however, medicine must be taken during school hours. If your child takes medicine during the day while at school, the following procedures must be followed:

• The school must have written or verbal orders from the child's physician giving the name of the physician, the name of the drug, the dosage, and when the medicine must be given.

• All medication (prescription and nonprescription) must be in a container that is properly labeled by a pharmacy or physician which provides the name of the physician, the name of the drug, the dosage, and when the medicine must be given.

• We must have written permission from the parent or legal guardian.

Please call Mrs. Wormer, School Nurse, with any questions regarding the medication procedures.
