Reminder: Medications Dispensed at School

Per RI Rules and Regulations; medications, including over the counter medications such as Tylenol or Motrin, cannot be carried or distributed without a physician's consent form. This policy pertains to ALL students regardless of their age, including students who self-carry and self-medicate (example: asthma inhalers).  If your child has a condition that may require him/her to need any medication (chronic headaches, braces, upper grade girls who have started menstruating), please complete and submit the consent form at the beginning of the year. Medications must also be in their original containers labeled with the child's name and dosage as well as the expiration date.  If you need a consent form, see the Forms section of this page to download and print a blank copy or click here for the Medication Consent Form.
