Medication: Due to the
newly updated medication policy change, the nurses are not able to send
school medications back home with students at the end of the school year.

shall retrieve all unused medication within two weeks of the end of the
school year. If the medication is not retrieved, it shall be disposed
of under the supervision of the school nurse and one witness.

Epi-Pen, etc.) from the school nurses’ office at the end of the
school year. You may want to stop by the nurses’ office on the day
of the portfolio picnic at your convenience. Thank you so much for your
cooperation.
Please also note that a NEW written health care provider's order must
accompany all medication that a parent/guardian is requesting the school
nurse to administer to his/her child next year.
