MEDICAL FORMS & INFORMATION
Medication Policy: A completed Medication Authorization form needs to be completed by your child's medical provider for any prescription and non-prescription medication to be given in school.
Parents must deliver all medications directly to the school nurse for the safety of all students. It is also the responsibility of the parent to pick up any remaining medication at the end of the school year. Medications will not be kept over the summer, they will be discarded. Each school year a new medication authorization form must be completed.

Injury: If a student has obtained an injury that requires them to be out of physical education - a doctor's note is needed. If the doctor's note says the student will be excluded until further notice, then the student will need another doctor's note that states the student has no restrictions to be able to return to physical activity.
