Guidelines for Prescription Medication

If your child needs to take medication during the school day, please follow the following guidelines:

• Complete the Prescription Medication Administered at School (link here)

• Medication to be delivered to school by parent/guardian, not expired, in its original container and labeled by a pharmacist or healthcare provider.

• Tell the school as soon as possible if there is a change in the use of my child’s medicine

• Tell the school if my child gets a new healthcare provider

• Have my healthcare provider complete a new medicine form for my child if the medicine or dose changes.

 

Note:
Any unused medication unclaimed by the parent will be destroyed by school personnel on the last day of school after the parent is notified or at the end of the school year. 

Any additional questions/concerns refer to the Canton Local District Handbook
