MEDICATIONS AT SCHOOL

Tidehaven ISD does not stock medication for students, including over-the-counter medication such as Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, Cough Suppressants, etc. For students to be medicated, parents must provide the medication. The medication can be stored in the nurse's office for future use.

The following form must also be completed to give the school nurse or other personnel permission to administer the medication you provided.

Medication Request Form- as needed medications

If a medication must be administered routinely (daily) or is a prescription medication, the signature of the physician must also be included on the form.

Daily Medication Request Form

Medications must be current and in their original container with the child's name. Please do not send expired medication or medication in a bag or different bottle.

Students should never have medication on them at school. If you are bringing medication for your student, please send it directly to the nurse's office. Medication should NOT be sent on the bus with your child.

The exception for this includes students who carry emergency medications on them such as insulin, an inhaler, Epi-Pens, etc. If your child will be carrying one of these medications on them, please complete the Self-Tote form below.
