A NOTE ON MEDICATION POLICY - It is likely that during this school year, your child will have a medication prescribed for the treatment of a health issue. The general policy we recommend: children receive medication at home whenever possible. In the event that your child needs to receive medication at school, please note the following key points:

                   * All medications, including over the counter meds require a 
                    Physician’s written authorization (Authorization to Administer 
                    Medication, form #525-13).  This form may be downloaded from the
                    MCPS web site or be picked up from the health room.

                  * Prescription medications must be provided in a container with
                   The pharmacist's label attached, the name of the child
                   And the dosage printed on the label.

                  * For the safety of your student, as well as other students at school,
                    All medications must be delivered to the school by a parent, guardian or designated adult.

                    *Students may "self carry" emergency medications such as Epi-pens
                    and inhalers with a physicians order and approval by the School Community 
                    Health Nurse.  The written order will be kept on file in the health room
.
                     Under no circumstances, may students self carry or self administer other
                     medications in the school setting (prescription or over the counter) unless the
                    above written orders are on file in the health room.
                     
                   * Under no circumstances will the school administer medications or
                    allow children to take medication that does not follow the
                    aforementioned rules.

 As always please feel free to contact the health room with any questions or concerns.
