Dear Parents/Guardians,
This is a reminder that your child has PRESCRIPTION and/or OVER-THE- COUNTER medication at school. This medication will need to be picked up by a parent or guardian by the end of the school year. The last half day of school is May 27th - Medications may be picked up prior to this date if convenient for the parent. Principals will hold medication
until May 28th. Any medication left after that date will be placed in a drug disposal box at the Elizabethton Police Dept.
Other adults picking up the medication will have to have a note signed by the parent giving the school permission to release their child’s medication. Medication cannot be sent home with your child. If you have any circumstances that will prohibit you from picking up medications on that day, please notify your school nurse at the numbers provided below PRIOR to the last day of school.

Thanks, as always, for your help with this issue.
