Medication Policy

The district does not dispense Tylenol, Benadryl, Tums, Pepto Bismol, or any such medication. If you want your child to have access to such medications, please send the items in the original bottle clearly marked with your child’s name and grade. A written permission note with your child’s name, date, dosage, frequency and your signature must accompany the medication.

Special medication or prescriptions for students will only be administered to students as follows:

1. We have specific written directions from a physician and the proper form is completed by the physician and the parent/guardian. Medication forms can be obtained from the school nurse or on www.gnasd.com.

2. Daily medication should be provided on a weekly basis in a container which has the prescription on it.

3. Medication required on a short-term basis must be in a bottle labeled with the child’s first and last name, name of medication, time to be given, and amount to be given. Please send only the required amount to be given per day. Be sure to include a written note with specific instructions and your signature.

4. ALL MEDICATION MUST BE KEPT IN THE NURSE’S OFFICE.

If your child refuses to take the scheduled medication, the parent/guardian will be notified.

In case of an early dismal due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, medications will NOT be dispensed. It will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian.
