The need to self-carry will be determined by you, your physician and campus nurse. At the end of the year it is preferred that medication be picked up by the parent, if this is not possible, certain medications will be placed in a sealed envelope and the parent must assume responsibility for this transport. Some types of medication will not be sent home in a sealed envelope and if not picked up will be disposed by the campus nurse. |

| Medication will not be accepted in an envelope, foil, or mislabeled container. Prescription medication that is intended for short term use, 10 days, will need the Short Term Medication Form to be completed and signed by the parent with the medication in the original pharmacy container. Prescription medication that is intended for long term use, greater than 10 days will need the Long Term Medication Form and must be completed by the physician and parent and the medication must be in the original pharmacy container. |
