Pick up Medications in the Health Room

Thank you for providing your child’s medication for administration at school. School District Policy requires me to destroy medications that are not picked up at the end of the school year.  For safety reason I cannot send medications home with students. Parent/guardians must pick up the medications. 

Pick-up all NON-prescription Medication by May 31 at 2:30. All non-prescription medication not picked up by 2:30 that day will be destroyed per district protocol.

Pick-up all PRESCRIPTION/Emergency Medication by June 5 at 12:00.  At 12:00 on June 5th all medication left in the health room will be destroyed. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please call Heather Reynolds at 355-1207.  Thank you!
