Medicine at School
To ensure the safety of students and follow Oklahoma school laws, Tuttle Public School follows these policies district-wide regarding medicine at school.
Medication should be taken at home prior to the school day or immediately after school whenever possible.
When dosing at home is absolutely not possible, medicine can be given at school if these guidelines are followed:
Medication is delivered in original container by an adult to the front office (no ziploc baggies)
Medication authorization form is filled out and signed
Prescription meds must be labeled with a current Rx including student’s name, date, prescriber’s name, strength, and dosing instructions.
The school must legally follow only the prescriber’s dosing instructions
Parents must supply any over-the-counter (OTC) medications to be given at school with a signed medication authorization form
OTC medications will only be dispensed at school according to the medication’s indications and dosing instructions on the package label. Exceptions can be made with a health care provider’s note.
Expired medication will not be dispensed at school
Any medication not picked up at the end of the school year will be disposed of before summer break.
A new Medication Authorization form must be signed for each school year
It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to know how much medication is at school and when a refill is necessary
If these guidelines can not be followed for whatever reason, parents may come to the office at any time to dispense medication to their student.
For emergency rescue medications that need to be carried by the student throughout the school day or stored in a backpack or locker, please fill out the Self-carry Med Authorization form and turn it in to the front office with a copy of the current prescription label. Only albuterol asthma inhalers, epinephrine for allergic anaphylaxis, or glucagon for type 1 diabetes meet the qualification to be an emergency rescue medication. No other medications are permitted to be carried or stored by students on school property.
