Medications:  Orders for the administration of medication at school are good for one academic year only.  In addition, medications at school are not carried over to the next school year and need to be returned to the parent.  To avoid accidents we do not allow students to hand carry their medication home, but request the parent to pick up the remaining medication at the school office no later than Wednesday, June 25.  If medications have not been picked up by this date they will be destroyed.
