MEDICATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED

According to California State law, prescription and non-prescription medications are permitted to be taken at school only with a written statement from the physician AND a written statement from the parent or guardian. The Health Office has a form available titled “Authorization for Medication Administration”. Form is also available on the MRES website.

Written information that must be provided is:
    · Student’s name
    · The name of the medication
    · Physician’s instructions detailing the date(s), method,
      amount and time medication is to be given
    · Parent/guardian and Physician signature

This information is required for all medications including “over-the-counter” Tylenol, ibuprofen, cold/allergy medicines, etc. All medications MUST be labeled with the student’s name and above information, in the original Rx or OTC container.

NO PLASTIC BAGGIES WILL BE ACCEPTED!
