Dear Parent/Guardian:
The following guidelines for dispensing medication at school have been
approved by the Moorestown Board of Education (policy #5330):
1. A written order is
needed from the health care provider for any medication (including
over-the-counter items) to be given at school. The order must state the
name of the medication, dose and time of administration. One order is
needed per school year.
2. The medication shall
be in the original container appropriately labeled by the pharmacy or
in the original sealed container.
3. The school nurse
and/or parent or guardian are the only persons permitted to administer
medication to your student in the school.
4. The medication must
be kept in the Health Office unless the student has written permission
from the health care provider to self-medicate. (The only medication a
student may self-medicate are Epi-Pen or asthma medications).
Please do not send medication to school with your student unless the above procedures are followed.
If you have any questions please call me at 778-6620, ext. 13040, or by e-mail at [email protected].
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Battel RN, MSN
