Students are not allowed to carry any medication on them during the school day. The only exception are self-carry rescue inhalers and EpiPens with a doctor's order on file in the health office.

If you would like to have Tylenol and/or Advil kept in the health office for your child, in case they need it during the school day, ask their doctor to fax over an order to 585-342-4694. Once I receive the order, I will reach out to you to arrange delivery of the medication to the health office.

If you have any questions, I can be reached at 585-342-4000 during school hours.
