Before medication can be administered in school by health room or school staff, a FCPS Medication Authorization Form must be completed by the student’s doctor and signed by parent/guardian. Information from a doctor on a prescription pad does not have all the information necessary to ensure safe medication administration in school.

Prescription medication (including inhalers) must be in a container labeled by the pharmacist.

Over –the –counter medication must be in the original unopened container.

Students are prohibited from transporting medications.

If you are anticipating that your child may need to take medication during the school day, please stop by the health room to pick up the form, as doctor offices and emergency rooms do not stock the forms. Or you can download the form by clicking here.
