Families, please remember: Students should NEVER bring medication to school in their backpack, lunchbox, pocket, or on their person. This includes both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Sending medication to school with a student creates a serious safety risk for your child and other students. If your child needs medication during the school day, a parent/guardian must bring the medication to the school office. Please do not send medication to school with your child, even if they know they are not supposed to take it until they get to school. Thank you for helping us make safety a priority. #GoDucks 🦆
