The prescription and self-administration forms also require a physician’s signature. 

These forms, along with a physician’s signature, must be updated at the beginning of each school year. All completed forms and medications must be brought to the school nurse. Please do not send medication to school with your child. Parents should bring all medications to and from school to ensure the safety of all students.
