FPCS Statement on Medications and Health
Friendship Public Charter School is deeply committed to the safety and wellbeing of every student who attends each of our 16 schools located in five wards throughout District of Columbia. For over two decades, we have tirelessly served D.C.’s children and families, and a key pillar of our commitment is supporting our most medically fragile scholars.
During the school day, our licensed nursing staff regularly administers a range of medications as prescribed by a licensed physician with the parent’s consent. As directed by D.C. law, parents are required to submit and schools must maintain physician-authorized documentation that outlines medical treatment for students during the school day.
Providing World-Class Education in D.C.
Friendship is one of the District of Columbia’s largest and highest-performing public charter school networks, with 16 schools serving over 4,500 students in prekindergarten through 12th grade.
We provide a world-class education that prepares students for college success and a career of their choice. Friendship empowers students to achieve high academic standards, enjoy learning, and develop as ethical, well-rounded and self-sufficient citizens who contribute actively to their communities.
