MEDICATIONS 

If a child requires medicine to be given in school, a parent must request in writing that the medicine be given, and it must be in the original container with the dosage directions on the label.   Twice a day medicines should be given at home, with doses spaced as close to 12 hours apart as possible.  Three times a day medicines should be given at home in the morning, after school, and at bedtime.  If it is not possible for the medicine to be given after school, it will be administered at 2:00 in school.  Medicine that is not in the original container (such as a plastic bag) cannot be administered in school.
