Dear Parents/Guardians,
As you know, the Eighth grade trip is coming up and many of the details are being finalized. Please review, fill
out and return the Medical Overnight Trip Permission Form enclosed. If your student will require any
medication while on the trip, the separate form: “Authorization to Administer Medication” must be filled out
and signed by your student’s doctor and a parent/guardian. This includes any over the counter medication, (i.e.:
Advil, Tylenol, Zyrtec, etc.) as well as prescription medications that your student takes on a regular basis. A
separate form must be filled out for each medication.
Medications will be collected at the Health Office from June 4th through June 6th, 2012. All medication must be
delivered to the Health Office by the day before the trip, June 6th, in the original container, labeled with your
student’s name and the name of the medication. Any over the counter medication must be in a new, unopened
container, also labeled with your student’s name. No medications will be accepted the morning of the trip!

Please return the Medical Trip Permission Form and the Permission to Administer Medication Form by Friday,
March 2, 2012. If you will find it helpful, the fax number for the Health Office is 973-334-1033. If you have
any questions, please call me at: 973-331-7100 extension 2315; or you may email me at:

Sincerely,

MEDICATION
Students are prohibited from carrying or self-administering any medication whether it is prescribed or over the counter while participating on a school sponsored trip as per the Board of Education policy. All such medication must be carried and administered by a Board approved licensed nurse. However, New Jersey law provides that students are permitted to self-administer medication only “for asthma or other potentially life-threatening illnesses or a life-threatening allergic reaction” N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.5 (For example, epi-pens or inhalers.) The parent/guardian of the student must provide the school nurse with a written authorization from the student’s physician, which states that the student may self-administer these medications. This form must also be signed by the parent/guardian. Under these limited conditions, a student may self-administer only those specified medications. Please check the applicable space. If necessary, a school nurse will contact you regarding the specific
details surrounding your child.
________My student does not need any medication administered while on the trip. ________I will provide the required documentation to the school nurse in order to have my student self-administer prescribed medication. (Examples: epi-pens, or asthma inhalers only.) ________I will need the medication(s) listed below administered to my student by an approved licensed
nurse while on the trip. I understand that both my student’s physician and I must complete the
enclosed medication form.
