Medication Policy

Administration of medicine is a responsibility the West Mifflin Area School District views with considerable concern.  In order to conform to State guidelines, no medication can be dispensed during school hours without a physician first completing the attached form.  This includes over-the counter medication such as, Tylenol, Motrin, antacids, cough, cold, allergy medications, etc.  A separate form is needed for each medication.  Also, students are not permitted to carry medication to, from, or during school hours unless a physician specifically states it is medically necessary.

You can find the necessary forms by clicking on the link “Health Forms” on the “Health Services” website and printing the document labeled Physician Form for Medication. After the attached form is completed and signed by you and the prescribing physician and returned to the school, the medication must be brought to school by the parent or guardian. Over-the-counter medication must be in its original bottle, and prescription medication must be properly labeled by a registered pharmacist and brought to school in its current bottle.

The following is a list of the fax numbers for each of the district’s schools to assist you and/or your physician in efficiently forwarding the necessary information:
