Maintenance Medications. Students who during the school day take maintenance medication (both prescription and over-the-counter) for medical conditions, need to notify the Director of Student Health in writing of the condition, the medication, and the medication schedule while at school. A student should only have at school the dosage of medication that is required for that day. Students may not carry full prescription medication with them throughout the school day.
