Absence Due to Illness

For guidance on determining when your child should stay home due to illness, please see the How Sick is Too Sick? document. 

Dispensing Medication

Whenever possible, children should be given needed medication by their parents at home. Littleton Public Schools encourages parents to work with their doctors to prescribe dosages that can be given at home rather than at school. However, if children must receive medication during the school day, it must be given by a registered nurse or someone under the direction and supervision of the nurse. For full details on Littleton Public Schools medication policy please click here

The school must have a permission signed by both parent and physician that clearly states th ename of the medication, dose, and the exact time it is to be administered at school. Please use the Medication Authorization form for any medication (including over the counter medications) brought to school.
