‼️ Important medication update for the 2025-26 school year ‼️

Starting this fall, Kentucky schools can no longer administer any over-the-counter medications without both:

✔️ parent/guardian consent
✔️ a signed order from a licensed healthcare provider

This includes items like Tylenol, Motrin, cough drops, lotion, or anti-itch creams. If you want your child to have access to any over-the-counter (OTC) medications during the school day, you will need to have their doctor complete the official medication administration form.

We know this is a change from past practice and appreciate your cooperation as we work to keep all students healthy and safe.
