Non-Prescription Medication

Students may self-carry one dose of over the counter medication if the parent is comfortable with the child's ability to safely handle the medication. Please discuss with your child the responsibility associated with carrying medication. Students are not allowed to share over the counter medication with other students. 

We highly recommend parents apply sunscreen to students before arriving at school. Students use of sunscreen per code 53A-11-606:
  • requires a public school to permit a student to possess and use sunscreen at school;
  • permits a school employee to apply sunscreen on a student under certain conditions
  • provides immunity for an employee who applies sunscreen on a student and provides immunity for the employee's employer
