On the day of the visit, the student should return a 'Student Visitation' form to the office.

If a student must take medication, the secretary will dispense the medication as long as a parental note certifying the need is presented to the school.

No other 'over-the-counter' medications will be dispensed by any school personnel or by other students at any time.
