Medication Distribution Information

Under no circumstances will school personnel diagnose, provide or prescribe any medicine for a student. Medication shall include all pills, drugs and medicines prescribed by a physician and any over-the-counter medicines. No herbal remedies will be given during the school day.

The South Fayette Township School District requests that medicine be given at home during non-school hours. However, it recognizes that sometimes it is essential for medication to be administered at school. Any medication to be administered during school hours must be accompanied by a written request signed by both a physician and parent/guardian.
