Medication
Students are not allowed to take medication at school without a written statement
from the licensed physician who prescribed the medication and a written authorization from the parent/guardian. This
includes over-the-counter medication. All medication must be delivered to the office in the original pharmacy container.
In the case of medication which must be administered several times a day, parents are expected to administer
dosages at home. It is recommended that sick students remain at home to receive proper attention.
