Parents and guardians,
If your child requires medication during the school day, please bring it to the school clinic beginning Thursday, August 1, 2025. Although many families wait until Open House, early drop-off helps our school nurses process paperwork and get everything in place before students return.
📌 All medications must be brought in by a parent or guardian.
📌 A medication authorization form may be required depending on the prescription—please check with your school nurse.
Thank you for supporting the health and safety of our students.
