Can I bring medication to school for my child?

If the medication is a prescription, a physicians order form must be 
completed by both the parent & the physician, a release of information form 
must be filled out by the parent, and the medication must be brought to 
school by the parent ONLY. If the medication is an over the counter 
medicine, a different form must be completed by the parent, as well as the 
above mentioned paper work. I will provide you with all of the appropriate 
forms.
