Medication

District policy prohibits the school nurse or school personnel from administering any medication, whether prescription or over the counter, without a doctor’s order, signature, and parent/guardian signature on the official HISD medication form. The form can be obtained from the school clinic or the YWCPA website. All forms will be kept on file in the clinic. The form must be renewed each school year. All medication (including over the counter) must be in a pharmacy labeled container. This policy is without exception. Students may not be in possession of any medication at school, including over-the-counter medication. An exception to this policy is for an asthma inhaler or Epi-pen, and then only when the proper HISD form is on file with the school nurse. All students who take medication at lunch time should come to the clinic at the start or the end of the lunch period, to avoid missing instructional time. Students who take medication are expected to come to the clinic without being called.

If you have questions or need assistance with the HISD medication forms, please contact Nurse Wright at 713-942-1441 ext. 463254 or deborah.wright@houstonisd.org.
