Students that need to receive medication at school need to have the proper paperwork filled out. Even if your student received medication last year, a new form needs to be turned in before medication can be dropped off. Please make arrangements to drop off medication and the supporting documentation to the main office. Medication should not be sent to school along with the student for safety concerns.
