Reminder - Medication Pick Up

Posted Date: 05/28/26 (09:26 AM)


Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of the school year, this is a reminder that all student medications currently stored in the health office must be picked up by a parent or guardian no later than the last day of school before dismissal.

This includes all prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, inhalers, EpiPens, and emergency medications.

Please note the following important information:

  • Medications cannot be sent home with students unless written "self carry" authorization is on file.
  • Controlled meds MUST BE PICKED UP by an adult prior to student dismissal on June 17th.
  • If your child will require medication at school for the upcoming school year, new physician orders and parent authorization forms may be required.

Please contact your child’s school nurses to arrange medication pick-up or with any questions regarding medication procedures.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and healthy school environment.
