Massachusetts Law prohibits the dispensation of medication to students except by a Registered Nurse. Students taking prescription medication during the school day must bring a doctor’s note to the nurse at school indicating the type of medication the student is using, the frequency and duration of the student’s use and a permission slip from home confirming the student’s need for the medication.
In addition, students will NOT be able to obtain nonprescription medication (i.e. aspirin, tylenol, etc.) from the school.
