Students may not carry medication on school grounds. All medications must be administered to the student by the school nurse, with the exception of insulin, asthma inhalers and epinephrine for severe allergic reactions. These are the only medications which may be carried by a student.
The over-the-counter (OTC) medication administration permission form in Aspen allows the school nurse to dispense stock over-the-counter medications to your student, such as Tylenol, Advil, cough medicine, Benadryl and antacids which have been pre-approved by our school physician.
If your child requires prescription or over-the-counter medication administration while at school:
- All medications must be in its original prescription or OTC bottle – NO exceptions.
- All medication will be stored in the nurse’s office and administered by the nurse as prescribed by your physician.
- The medication administration form must be completed and turned in to the nurse.
If your child carries insulin, an inhaler or epinephrine injection, please have your doctor complete the appropriate forms available for download on the right.
If you child is attending an over night field trip and will require medication (prescription or over the counter), please download a form for each medication to be administered and complete it before the date of departure. This form must accompany the medication which needs to be in an original bottle with accurate pharmacy label.
