1. Guidelines for taking prescription and over-the-counter medications are as follows:
Prescription drugs must be in their original pharmacy container and properly labeled from a registered pharmacist licensed to practice in the state of Texas with the student’s name, current date, dose to be given, time to be given, and medication route to be administered. A written request signed and dated by the parent and Texas physician or other health care professional with authority to write prescriptions is required.  Any medication that has expired will not be given at school. 


2. Over-the-counter medications must be in the original container. This medication must be properly labeled, as stated above, and accompanied by a written request signed and dated by the parent and Texas physician or other health care professional with authority to write prescriptions is required.  School nurses will not administer non-FDA approved products, herbal/dietary products, medications purchased in foreign countries, or non-traditional preparations.  Any medication that has expired will not be given at school. 

3. Students will not be allowed to carry medications on them except for emergency medications allowed by Texas state law: an inhaler, EpiPen, or insulin. A written statement from a physician and parent/guardian allowing the student to carry and self-administer the medicine while on school property or at a school-related event is required. The physician’s order and written parent permission must be on file in the student’s medical records.
