Medications
School staff is prohibited from administering medicine, prescription or over the counter, without a doctor’s prescription. If your child must take a medicine while attending school, you must fill out and sign a permission slip. There is a space in your child’s Health History form to list allergies and chronic illnesses. Please fill this out carefully.
A letter from the child’s health practitioner must accompany medication for chronic illness or allergies. The letter must state the symptoms that would require the medication to be given, the exact dosage amount, times to be given and the number of days to be given. This letter and a signed Parent’s Medical Release form must be on file for your child. Mission Viejo Montessori School reserves the right to refuse to administer any medication we believe we are unqualified, inadequately staffed, or untrained to administer.
