1. This form for "Prescribed and Over-the-Counter Medication" must be signed by your child’s physician and parent/guardian.
2. If you want your Middle or High School student to carry their Emergency Medication with them at school please complete this permission form for "Student to Self-Administer Emergency Medication" which must be signed by a parent/guardian. This form must be accompanied by the first form (the "Prescribed and Over-the-Counter Medication" form).
