Note to parent/guardians:

Note to Parent/Guardians:
To comply with State Law governing the administration of medication at school, the Pendleton County
School system requires that all students who need medication during school hours do the following:
1. The parent or legal guardian must sign the written consent form for both non-prescription and prescription
medication. (The school does not provide non-prescription medication, such as Tylenol, Benadryl, etc. It is the
parent’s responsibility to send this medication to the school in the original container.)
2. The Prescription medication section of this form must be signed by the physician, and the prescription
medication sent to school in the original prescription bottle.
3. A medication form is required for each medication.
4. If there is any question about the dosage of medication the child is to receive, it will not be given unless the
parent or physician clarifies instructions.
5. The first dose of any medication must be given at home due to the possibility of allergic reaction.
6. Medication should only be taken at school when absolutely necessary; it is best to give medications at home.
