Medication at School

Winding Oaks Elementary School strongly urges parents to administer their student’s medications at home whenever possible. If it is necessary for your student to take medication during school hours the following guidelines must be followed:

  • All medications, including over the counter medications (OTC), administered in the school clinic must be prescribed for your student by a licensed medical provider. Medications must be in the original container and have a non-expired prescription label affixed to the medication.
  • Medications must be delivered to the school clinic by an adult. Students may not transport medications.
  • An Authorization for Prescribed Medications form must be completed for each medication your student is to receive at school.
  • Students are only permitted to self-carry certain medications (rescue inhaler, epinephrine auto-injector, pancreatic enzymes, and diabetic supplies) if an Authorization for Prescribed Medications form has been delivered to the school clinic signed by BOTH the parent and licensed medical provider.
  • Florida Statute allows students to possess and use OTC, FDA approved topical sunscreen and headache medication. Products must remain in the original container, labeled with the student name and cannot be shared. A Parent Authorization Form shall be completed and delivered to the school clinic for these products.
