Homeroom teachers should alphabetize the forms and send them to the Office (of their individual buildings) with a list of students who have NOT returned the information.

All students taking prescribed medicine during school must see the nurse and bring in proper documentation from their doctor so that proper medication is dispensed and legal regulations are met.
