Medication

Medications - I am happy to assist students who need medications as school.  It is preferable that an adult bring the medication to school, for reasons of safety. However, all medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, will require written consent and dosage information by a parent or guardian.  Please note that Texas law does not permit public schools to dispense nonprescription drugs such as Tylenol, Advil, cough syrup, etc. (these need to be supplied from home).  Any non-prescription medication that is to be given daily for more than 15 consecutive days must have a physician's signed order.
Medications must be:
- In an original, preferably small, properly labeled container, (no baggies or envelopes, please.
- Up to date (check expiration date before bringing to school).
- Age-appropriate in dosage.

No aspirin products (such as Excedrin--Please look at ingredients listed), unless accompanied by a doctor's consent, for any students 18 and under. Aspirin usage by children and adolescents has been associated with the often-fatal Reyes Syndrome.

Prescription medications must be in a properly labeled bottle from the pharmacy. Please ask your pharmacist for a "school bottle".
