If your child requires medication in school, please contact the nurse or send your child to the health room for the proper form (MED-1) or (MED-1 (Asthma) to be completed by your child’s doctor.  For everyone’s safety, students ARE NOT permitted to bring any medications into school without written permission from the parent, doctor, and the approval of the school nurse.  This includes asthma inhalers and over the counter medications.
