School and Medication

Did you know that it is unlawful for students of ANY age to bring drugs of ANY kind to school? We have a ZERO tolerance policy, meaning ANY drugs are illegal drugs. Medication may only go from one adult's hands to another adult's hands.

At the Kindergarten age, we don't usually have problems with this. However, it is important that if your child takes medication, you bring the medication to school with a permission note. It might be a good idea to have some pain reliever or allergy medication handy at school if you know that your student gets the occasional headache or allergy flare up. I would love to be able to care for your little one if the need arises.

Just so we are clear: All medications are kept out of the reach of children and are confidential. Any time that medication is administered it is documented and a note will be sent home if the medications are not taken regularly. If you have any questions or need the permission form, please let me know via email or by calling the school. You can also access them by clicking the links below:
