It is recognized that there may be instances when medication must be administered to your child during school hours. If medication is necessary during school hours this requires a Medication Authorization and/or Emergency Action Plan please see the following directions:

Visit the Northville Public Schools website at https://www.northvilleschools.org/apps/pages/health and select the appropriate medical form for your student. All forms must be filled out and signed by both a health care provider and a parent/guardian. Forms must be in place before any medications can be given at school and renewed each school year (dated after June 30th).

Allergy Plan: Allergy diagnosis that requires medication at school (examples: EpiPen, inhaler, and/or antihistamines) and/or directives for care.

Asthma Plan: Asthma diagnosis that requires medication at school (example: inhaler) and/or directives for care.

Seizure Action Plan: Epilepsy/Seizure diagnosis that requires medication at school (example: Valtoco) and/or directives for care.

Medication Authorization: Requires medication prescription and nonprescription (example: Tylenol and Motrin).

Bring the completed medical form with the prescribed medication in the original container (pharmacy label including name) prior to the first day of school. If you have any questions, please contact your student’s school or Verna Martin, District Nurse Consultant Martinve@northvilleschools.org.

We look forward to working together with you to ensure the health and safety of your child. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Winchester office at (248) 465-2400.
