Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of the school year, we would like to remind you to pick up any medications your student may have stored in the school health room.

The deadline for medication pickup is the last day of school, Thursday, May 28, by 3:45pm.

Please keep the following important information in mind:

• Authorized Pickup: Medications must be picked up by a parent, guardian, or an authorized adult. For safety reasons, medications cannot be sent home with students in their backpacks without written consent.

• Disposal Policy: Per school district policy, any medications (including prescription and over-the-counter items like inhalers, Epipens, or allergy medicine) remaining in the health room after the last day of school will be destroyed. We are unable to store medications over the summer break.

• Next School Year: Please remember that new medication authorization forms signed by your healthcare provider will be required for the upcoming school year.

If your student is attending a school-sponsored summer program and requires medication, please contact the health room office directly to make specific arrangements.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of our students. If you have any questions, please contact the office.
