Medication at School

    • Name of medication
    • Dosage
    • Time and dates to be given
    • The reason it must be given during school hours
    • Possible side effects

    We will accept faxed authorization from a health care provider. Please call your school’s office for the fax number.?

    Parent/Guardian Note
