Medications delivered to school without the completed/signed form (parent signature for OTC medications and physician signature for prescription medications) will not be administered to your student. Please refer to regulation #757-4 when requesting medication to be administered to your student. Forms can be accessed on this website, the PWCS main website, or the school office.
