The only appropriate medications given at school are those that are needed to maintain a student's health or ability to learn. Examples of appropriate requests would be: inhalers, insulin, medication to maintain attention, epinephrine for allergic reactions. Inappropriate medication requests would include temporary medications like: cold medications, antibiotics, or medications ordered one, two or three times per day. If you have an appropriate medication request, you will need to supply a completed medication permission form (English form, Spanish form) and the medication.
