Medication Administration during Extended School Day Trips

Guidelines for medication administration during overnight school trips will follow Policy for the administration of medication to students outlined by the Oregon Department of Education. If the school nurse does not accompany students on a trip, the student’s teacher, principal, or other designated school employee will be responsible for medication administration. Each individual school personnel designated to administer medications will receive Medication Administration training.

For overnight school trips:The administration of medication to students shall be done only when the student’s health may be jeopardized without the medication. Any medication to be administered to a student will be kept in the possession of the teacher or designated person and will be given as delegated.

Please refrain from requesting administration of multivitamins, herbal or dietary supplements without the written permission from a physician. The Oregon Department of Education prohibits the administration of dietary supplements.
