Kentucky Department of Education has made some changes in the medication procedures we must adhere to. We still have medical professional standing orders for medications such as: Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tums, cough drops, etc. with written parental permission. Any other medications outside the standing orders must have a medical professional’s signature in order to be given at school.

If medications are to be taken during the school day, please have your medical professional complete the Permission Form for Prescribed or Over-the-Counter Medication.

This form can be found on the district website under Quick Links – New Medication Guidelines or it can be obtained at your child’s school.
