Parents are encouraged to administer medications outside of school hours when possible. For medications that require administration during school hours, please complete and sign a Medication Permission Form for each medication brought to the office. See link below. The Medication Permission Form must be completed annually and will not carry over year to year. This form applies to all daily meds, as needed meds and emergency meds such as Epi Pens.
