Medication Reminders:

A new medication administration request will be required each school year or with any change in the previous medication administration request ( ie. a change in the original time interval or dosage amount to be given).

A parent note gives the school nurse permission to dispense the medication according to the label on the original container. The medication must be age appropriate.

All medication will need to be picked up by a parent/guardian before the last day of school or the medication will be discarded.
