Administration of Medication For elementary and middle schools students, these regulations apply to any medication taken at school. For high school student, these regulations apply to any medication that parents request school personnel to assist with self administration.
1. Students requiring non prescription medication during the school day need to have a
medication form signed by the parent and on file in the school.
2. Students requiring prescription medication during the school day need to have a
medication form signed by the parent and on file in the school.

e. the number of pills, capsules or liquid medicine in the container
Example: 10 pills, 5 capsules, 10 teaspoonfuls
f. the name of the doctor who prescribed the medicine
4. If the child is to take more than one kind of prescription medicine at school, a container for
each kind must be used. That is if the child takes Tergretol and Phenobarbital then the
Tegretol is to be in one bottle and the Phenobarbital in the other, labeled as shown in #3
5. The bottle of prescription medicine is to be brought by the parent, responsible adult
or student to the school office. If the child has special needs and required additional
care, the bottle of medicine is to be brought by the parent or responsible adult to the
school office, classroom teacher or bus aide.
6. If a child takes the same kind of prescription medicine more than once during the
day, the correct amount needs to be sent.
7. All medicine will be stored in the school vault or a locked file cabinet or refrigerated
if indicated. At the time a child is to take any medicine, the child will report to the school office where a person in charge of the medications will assist with the self administration of the medication (See Guidelines for self administration of medications). For middle school and high school students, it is the child’s responsibility to report to the office when it is time to take the medicine. However, if the child requires additional care, special accommodations will be made.
8. Each school must maintain the Daily Log Form. This form documents the self administration
of the prescription medication and when the student took the medicine. The form is
completed by writing the student’s name, name of medication, dosage and time.
9. If a child’s prescription medicine is changed in any way, a new medication form denoting the
changes must be completed and sent to school with the changes. The bottle(s) in which a
child’s medicine is sent to school must have the new changes on the label(s).
Guidelines for Self-Administration of Medications Any school employee authorized by the school administrator may assist with self-administration of medications. Assistance is defined as follows:

6. Assisting with removal of medication from a container for students with a physical disability
If a student is not able to self-administer medication and medication is required daily, a school nurse will be assigned to administer the medication. Contact the school nurse at Lewis & Clark. Emergency Administration of Medication In case of an anaphylactic reaction or the risk of such reaction, a school nurse may administer emergency oral and/or injectable medication to any student in need thereof on the school grounds according to the standing order of the student’s physician. In the absence of a school nurse, the administrator or designated staff member who has completed training in administration of medication, may give emergency medication to the student orally or by injection. There must be on record a medically diagnosed condition which would require prompt treatment to protect the student from serious harm or death. Proper Disposal of Syringes, Lancets, etc. Some health situations require the use of hypodermic needles, syringes, lancets, etc. If a school staff member is involved in the handling and disposal of medical sharps which are capable of penetrating the skin, these items must be disposed of in a container labeled “sharps” available from the Buildings and Grounds Department. Disposal of sharps containers must follow the requirements of the Montana Infectious Waste Management Act. The Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds is the responsible school official for the disposal of sharps containers. Minutes of the Board, February 24, 1997, p. 5663 SP-91 Revised 4/05
