If you have a child that takes a medication during the school day you may drop that off to the elementary or high school office during normal office hours the rest of this week, and Monday and Tuesday of next week. For the safety of the children, and to limit possible exposure we are asking that you dispense morning medications at home. Check to make sure contact information is correct in harmony, and please consider putting the parent's employer name and phone number in there, as many people are not allowed to carry cell phones at their jobs.
