Health Advice From Mrs. Weaver
 
Permission to Administer Medication at School To clarify the Northeastern Local School District policy about medication dispensing during school hours, written permission from a parent and from a physician is required for any medication taken by a student during the school day. “ ‘Medication’ shall include all medicines including those prescribed by a licensed health professional authorized to prescribe drugs and any non-prescribed (over-the-counter) drugs, preparations, and/or remedies,” which includes Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and cough drops. A form giving your child permission to take medications may be signed by the parent and physician and returned to school (Click Here to print the form). For your convenience, the physician may fax the permission to 342-4631. Thank you so much for your cooperation.
