Medication in school

For the safety of all students, please do not send unlabeled medication to school with your child.

The Annual Student Emergency and Medical Information form (S865) must be filled out every year by parents or guardians to allow the school nurse to medicate their child with Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen as prescribed by the School District’s medical Officer/pediatrician.


All students who require prescription or non prescription medication in school (with the exception on acetaminophen or ibuprofen) need to have a medication form completed by their physician. The form can be found on the link below.
