MEDICATION

The Montville Board of Education has a written policy regarding the administration of prescribed or over-the-counter medication during school hours. Students may take medication at school only after:

1. The district’s authorization form, which includes the doctor’s written order, has been completely filled out.
2. The form is signed by the prescribing physician/dentist
3. The form is signed by a parent or guardian.
4. The form must be on file at the school
5. The written order is valid only for the school year it is issued.

Medication must be delivered to the school by an adult and must be in original container. No more than a 45-day supply of medication can be kept at school. Medication will be destroyed at the end of the school year, unless picked up by an adult.
