MEDICATION FORM REMINDER
Keep Your Student Safe and Ready to Learn!
Help us support your child's health without interrupting their school day! If your student requires any over-the-counter or prescription medication, Tylenol, or Ibuprofen at school, please submit an Administering Medication Form signed by a doctor (one form per medication). Having this form on file allows us to give your student what they need so they can stay comfortable, healthy, and in class.
Emergency Meds (EpiPens & Asthma Inhalers): With physician authorization on the form, students can carry these with them. We strongly encourage high schoolers to self-carry due to after-school sports and activities.
Where to Find Forms: Download the form directly from the TVS website and return it to the school nurse.
