Medical Authorization Forms

If your child needs to take medication during the school day, California state law requires a Medication Authorization Form to be on file each school year.

This applies to:

• Prescription medications like EpiPens, inhalers, or antibiotics
  
  

• Over-the-counter (OTC) items such as Tylenol, Advil, allergy medicine, cough drops, eye drops, lip balm, sunscreen, and more
  
  

All medications must be stored in the school nurse’s office, except for:

• Asthma inhalers and sunscreen, which may stay in your child’s backpack (but still require a doctor’s note for our records)
  
  

Required Forms:

• Medication Authorization Form — required each school year
  
  

• FARE Form — required if your child uses an EpiPen
  
  

Please complete and submit the appropriate forms along with the medication to the school office. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to help!
