Medications at School

MEDICATION AUTHORIZATION FORMS:
MEDICATION AUTHORIZATION FORMS:
A written physician’s order and parent/guardian authorization form must be completed for each medication for every school year. In addition to the Authorization for Medication form, if the scholar will be self-carrying medication, a Self-Administration form must be completed. An Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Care form must also be completed if the medication to be administered is an EpiPen. These forms are available at the KLAHS front office and as links on this page below.

SELF-ADMINISTRATION:
In order for a scholar to self-carry and self-administer medication, additional medication must also be kept in the Health Office. This policy is to ensure the safety of our scholars in the event of an emergency. An Authorization for Medication form and a Self-Administration form must be completed for a scholar to self-carry.

MEDICATION DELIVERY TO HEALTH OFFICE:
Medications must be brought to the school by the parent/guardian. Under no circumstances will the school administer medications brought to school by a scholar. Medication may not be self-carried by a scholar or in their backpack unless they have the Authorization for Medication and Self-Administration forms on file at the front office.

MEDICATION INFORMATION:
All prescription medications must be in the original pharmacy labeled container with the scholar’s name, medication name, route of delivery, dosage, time interval of use, expiration date, and the current date. Prescriptions must include the name of the prescribing licensed California healthcare provider. If necessary, request a duplicate bottle from the pharmacist for the school. If any medication is not in the original container, it CANNOT be accepted or administered. Non-prescription over-the-counter medications must also be in the container with the manufacturer’s original label and expiration date.
