As we start planning for the next school year, we want to remind our families that if your child needs medication while at school, an updated Medication Administration form must be on file for the 2026-2027 school year. This includes over-the-counter medications and prescription medications (including EpiPens and Inhalers). If your child needs a prescription medication administered while at school, their Primary Care Provider must complete a portion of the form.
The upcoming proposal is for our school district’s operating millage.
