 That the permission to possess and self-administer emergency medication may be revoked by the principal if it is determined that my student is not safely and effectively self-administering their own medication.

I authorize the school registered nurse and/or nurse trained and delegated school staff to administer my student’s emergency

medications as needed and directed by their licensed healthcare provider.

I authorize the school registered nurse to communicate with my student’s healthcare provider about their medication or emergency

care plan.
