Medicine Administration in School
Prescription Medications
- Prescription medications must be a prescription bottle from the pharmacy properly labeled with the child’s name, physician, name of the medication and direction for time and dosage. The pharmacy can supply two (2) labeled bottles for this purpose. Medications sent in baggies or unlabeled containers will not be given.
Medication will not be accepted if the label has been altered by hand.
A completed request signed by a parent/legal guardian and by the ordering physician/licensed prescriber must be presented with the properly labeled medication prior to administration.
Prescription Medication Request Form
Medications given at school must be brought to the school by the parent/guardian or an adult designee (18 years of age or older and not a current WFISD student).
Medications are stored in the nurse’s office in a locked cabinet and are supervised at all times.
If your child is prescribed emergency rescue medication and you would like for them to self-carry and self-administer while at school or school functions, please fill out the medication self-carry agreement along with the prescription medication request form and turn it back into your campus nurse.
