Medication Policy and Forms >

According to our medication policy, students who need medication administered during school hours must first complete a medication consent form from both the physician and the parent.  Parental permission for school personnel to supervise the consumption of medicines is also mandatory. Authorization forms must be on file for each medication your student needs. Enclosed are samples of the forms:

  1. Medical Provider Authorization Form – used for prescription medications.
  2. Parent/ Guardian Medication Authorization Form – used for all medication.
  3. Asthma Inhaler Administration Authorization Form – used for inhalers.

Students are now allowed to keep any type of medicine in their possession while in attendance at CEO.  All medicine must be kept in the school office.  This includes but not limited to Advil, Mydol, Tylenol and other similar pain relievers.   (The exception would be inhalers but an Asthma Inhaler form must be completed by a medical provider and kept on file in the school office.)
