Authorization & Administration of Medicine by School Personnel
CT State Law and Regulations require a Physician's or Dentist's written order and Parent/Guardian's authorization for a Nurse to administer medications. This includes the administration of aspirin, ibuprofen, or aspirin substitute containing Acetaminophen. Authorization forms are available at the school and some physicians' offices. Physician's orders, if given over a long period of time, shall be renewed each school year. The medicine shall be delivered to the school nurse by a responsible adult in a pharmacy prepared container and labeled with the name of the child, name of the drug, strength, dosage, frequency, physician's or dentist's name and date of original prescription. No more than a 45-day supply of the medication for a student shall be stored at school.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT send any medication to school with your child even if it is an over-the-counter medication.
Accidents & Illness
If, in the opinion of the nurse, a student is too ill to remain in school, the parents will be notified. The school nurse will make the decision as to whether a students needs to be sent home and the nurse will contact the parent or guardian.
