If your child needs to take medication during the school year, it is advisable that they be taken at home, before and after school, whenever possible.
If you must send medications to school, students MAY NOT transport medications! All medications must be in original packaging with complete labels from the Pharmacy. Parents must complete a Medication Administration Consent form before we can administer any medication.
For prescription medications that need to be taken both at home and at school, please ask your physician or Pharmacy to divide doses into two bottles. Taking medications to and from school daily is not permitted unless a parent drops it off AND picks it up!
According to state laws, we can not administer medications prescribed or bought outside of Arizona state lines (No medications from Mexico will be accepted).
If your child has moderate to severe asthma, diabetes, or life threatening allergies requiring they keep medications with them, please speak to the Health Office Staff.
