When possible, medications should be administered to the student outside of school hours. If it is necessary that the medication be administered during the school day, please note the following requirements:

Medicines should be delivered to the school in a pharmacy or manufacturer-labeled container by you or a responsible adult whom you designate. Please ask your pharmacy to provide separate bottles for school and home. No more than a thirty-day supply of the medicine should be delivered to the school.
