Middlebury Elementary School

Parents must make arrangements with the nurse if it is necessary for a child to have medication during school hours. All medications must be brought to school by the parent or other responsible adult and they must be in the original prescription container. A special form that requires a parental signature and physician's orders and signature, must be completed and filed in the Health Office before any medication can be administered to the student. This includes non-prescription medications such as cough medication.  No more than a 45 school day supply of medication for a student shall be stored in school.

If your child is on medication during the school day and is going to need medication during a field trip you must contact the school nurse one week in advance of the trip to make arrangements.

Students may only carry their own medications when their doctor's order is written that they may do so. New medication orders must be written for each school year.
