Please review the following medication guidelines:
All medications must be provided to the school nurse by October 14, 2019 in its original packaging. Parent/Guardian may also bring medication to the Orientation Night (in Fall 2019), as the MJS Nurse will be present.
A completed "Request for Administration of Medication by the School Nurse/Registered Nurse" form must accompany each medication and must be signed by both the parent/guardian and the student’s physician.
Board of Education policy stipulates that students who are permitted to self-administer their medication (for asthma, bee stings, or any another potential life-threatening illness) must have their parent/guardian complete the "Request for the Self Administration of Medication" form. If an Epi-Pen is needed, an additional form entitled “Emergency Administration of Epinephrine via Epi-Pen” is also required.
Medication Forms are located in the MJS Health Office, MJS website, or in the MJS Main Office, over the summer. If you have any questions, you may contact our MJS Nurse (Ms. Gioia) at 973-515-2431 during the school year.
