Just a reminder to parents that Arizona state law (A.R.S. 15-344):
* Requires medication to be delivered to the health office by a responsible adult and not the student.
* Medication must be in the original container prepared by the pharmacist.
* A form will need to be completed by the parent giving permission for the school personnel to administer the medicine for your child.
