When to Keep a Sick Child Home From School
Please refer to the information about your child's illness found under 'Important Forms'
Does your child plan on taking medication at school?
Non-Prescription Medication (Over-The-Counter), such as pain medications, cough syrup, cough drops or creams, will NOT be administered without a completed form signed by the parent/guardian and provider. Medications must be brought to school in their original container and clearly marked with the child's name. (See bullet points below)
Prescription Medications will need an order form completed and signed by the parent/guardian and the physician. (See Important forms you may need)
- Older students may self carry inhalers and EpiPens with a parent/guardian and health provider's permission.
- High school students may carry one day supply of prescription and/or over-the-counter medication (in its own original container) without a "permission to carry" form on file.
- Middle school students may carry one day supply of over the counter medication (in the original container) without a "permission to carry" form. However, a one-day supply of prescription medication requires a "permission to carry" on file.
