Medication in School
A new OGSD Health Services form (see Health Forms below) must be completed at the beginning of each school year. Medication must be supplied by the parent or guardian in the original prescription container, and be clearly labeled with the student's name, medication name, dosage, and directions. The label must match the physician’s orders on the OGSD Health Services form. No medication, including any over-the-counter medication (e.g. Tylenol, Advil, cough syrup, eye drops, etc.), will be stored or dispensed without an OGSD Health Services form that has been completed by both the physician and parent/guardian. All medication must be picked up by a parent/guardian at the end of the school year.
**NOTE: Students are not allowed to transport medication to and from school. All medications must be delivered to and picked up from the School Health Office by a parent/guardian.
