Medications/ointments/supplements/vitamins:

All medications, over-the-counter, prescription, topical ointments, supplements, vitamins, or melatonin must have a fully completed medication order that is filled out and signed by a physician. A parent's signature alone does not meet the requirements for school staff to administer any kind of medication, topical, vitamin, or supplement. Any medication sent without the correct forms will not be sent on the trip and will not be administered to students. 

Students will not be allowed to carry or administer their own medications unless they already have a self-carry contract on file at the school, or have one completed by their doctor before the trip. All medications or supplements will be given by trained and delegated staff. All medications must be sent in their original container, and with a pharmacy label that matches the student if the medication is a prescription. Loose pills, gummies, or vitamins in plastic baggies or unlabeled containers will not be accepted. 

Medication forms are available on the school website under the health page. If your student already has medications and forms completed in the school health office, you don't need to take any further action. 

If you have any questions or concerns reach out to the school nurse,
