Medication

Any student who is required to take medication at school is required to bring the medication to the nurse's office with a Medication Order Form filled out by a student's guardian and the physician who administered it. Click here for a copy of this form.

Any student who is required to take medication on a school sponsored field trip should fill out a Field Trip Medication Authorization Form, which can be found by clicking this link.

Medical Notification

Any student who has a medical condition that should be noted by the school nurse should send documentation of that condition from a physician.  The school nurse does not automatically share that information with the staff unless the student's guardian grants permission to do so. Please click here for a copy of the form allowing the nurse to do so.

Food Allergies

If the school nurse should be notified of a food allergy, please download and complete the Food Allergy Action Plan.
