Students With Medication At School
If your child will need to take medication at school, please ask the UE office for a medication form. Your child’s doctor must complete this form. Please note that students are not allowed to transport medication to or from school on the busses.
Thanks for your help!
Final Forms
If you have not already done so, please update your student’s Final Forms as soon as possible. This ensures that we have the correct contact and emergency information for your child.
