Pueblo County School District No. 70 Medication Policy

Medication will only be administered to students when it is prescribed by a doctor. Forms can be obtained in the office or on the web site and must be completed and signed by the attending physician. The parent will then need to sign the form and return it to the school for filing. We must have this completed form before any medication can be dispersed at school. Over the counter medication such as Tylenol, aspirin, cough drops, etc. will not be administered without doctor’s permission. We recommend that antibiotics that must be taken three times a day be administered before school, immediately after school and then before your child retires for the evening. If it is necessary for a child to receive medication during the school day, the parent must bring the medication to and from school. Children are not permitted to transport any medications on the school bus. Please remember to pick up your child’s medication at the end of the school year. Any unclaimed medication will be destroyed. If you have any questions regarding the district’s policy, please feel free to contact the office or the school nurse.

Thank you so much,
