If your child needs a medication in school you can download
this form and have the doctor complete it. An adult needs to
bring the form and medicine (in the original labeled container/box)
to the Health Suite. This form is used for prescription and non-prescription
medications that may be needed by your child during the school
day.
Administration of Certain Nonprescription Medications
BCPS school nurses can administer certain nonprescription medications
with your permission only at no charge, for all students. Approved
discretionary medications are intended for occasional use only
and are given under physician directed nursing protocols for
a limited number of conditions.
This service is designed to alleviate your child’ minor
discomforts and to avoid early dismissals from school. If
you would like to have this service available to your child,
complete the Consent
for Administration of Approved Discretionary Medications and
return it to the school nurse. If your child requires nonprescription
medications on a regular basis, you must obtain a written
order from your health care provider and supply the medication
(see above order form).
