Medications
Students in LISD middle schools may carry over-the-counter medications (Tylenol, ibuprofen, Midol, throat lozenges, etc) and inhalers and EPIPENS. Directions to self-carry are below. For controlled substances or prescription medications or treatments they may not be self-carried and instructions for those are also below. You can find updated forms on the LISD website, departments, health services and then select forms.
Over-The-Counter (OTC) Medications/Some Prescriptions
1. Keep the medication in the original container.
2. Carry with the medication a signed note from the parents/guardians listing the student's name, name of medication, dosage and frequency to take the medication, parent/guardian name and phone number.
3. Make sure you let them know they may NOT SHARE their medication with anyone.
