Medication Policy:
- A parent/guardian must deliver medications to school with an approved healthcare provider signed form (Parent Request to Administer Medication in School).
- Any remaining medication must be picked up by the parent/guardian at the end of the school year or it will be properly disposed.
- Medication must come in a pharmacy prepared, labeled bottle.
- Discretionary medications: A small supply of over the counter medications (Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Antacid tablets, Diphenhydramine, cough drops) are kept in the health suite. The administration of these medicines requires a signed parent/guardian Consent for Administration of Discretionary Medication form.
- All other over-the-counter medications must also be accompanied by an approved healthcare provider signed form.
- In the absence of a healthcare provider signed form, a parent/guardian may come to school and administer medication.
- Medication orders may be faxed to Towson High School at 443-809-4271 or 4280.
