Notes from the Nurse

Tamra Sherwood RN BSN

 

Important information regarding: Medications at school



All medications, including over-the-counter medications, require a doctor's authorization. If your child requires any type of medication at school we must have a physicians signature on our medication authorization form. Please do not send medication to school with your child. If they require medications at school please bring the medication to the school office. Please contact the school nurse if you have any questions.

I also ask that you not send cough drops to school with your child. There is a danger of choking and many small children think of them as candy and will share. If you feel your child needs cough drops at school, it is considered a medication and will need a physician authorization.
