ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICINES
CT. State Law, Section 10-212a, requires a written order of a physician or dentist and the written authorization of a parent or guardian of such child for a school nurse, or in the absence of such nurse, the principal or any teacher to administer medications.
Medication must be in pharmacy prepared containers and labeled with the name of the child, name of drug, strength, dosage, frequency, physician's or dentist's name, and date of original prescription. Over the counter medications must be in the original sealed container. All medications must be brought in and picked up by a legally responsible adult.
Call the Nurses's Office (763-8880) if you have any questions concerning this policy. Medication Authorization Forms are available in the office and also will be sent home in the September packet with your student.
