Edmondson Elementary School - Williamson County Schools

please be aware of the following:
The school must have an authorization form completed by the physician
for prescription medication and the parent must complete a form for nonprescription
medication. These forms are available in the office.
Parents, or legal guardians, must bring their child’s medication into
school. Students are not allowed to bring in their own medication. This
includes prescription as well as non-prescription medication. Empty
prescription bottles can continue to be given to the student to take home,
unless you inform the school otherwise.
No medication will be given unless it is in a properly labeled pharmacy
bottle and matches the doctor’s orders exactly. If your child is taking an
antibiotic that is prescribed for three times per day, parents should
administer the medication before school, after school, and at bedtime. DO
NOT send the antibiotic to school.
If you are supplying over-the-counter medication, you must fill out the
authorization form available in the school office. All non-prescription
drugs need to be in the original manufacturer's bottle with the child’s
name affixed to the bottle.
The school is required to designate school personnel to give medications
to students on field trips. A staff member is responsible for preparing the
medication and giving it to the child’s teacher. However, if you do not
want your child to receive medication on a field trip, you will need to put
that in writing.
* For the purpose of administrative control and oversight of all pills,
capsules, tablets, etc. in the school building, all herbal supplements and
vitamins will be treated as prescribed medication and will follow all
above procedures requiring authorization of a doctor.
