Medications

It is the recommendation of Latta Schools that parents administer all medication to students at home. There are occasions, however, when it becomes necessary for a student to take medication during school hours. Appropriate school personnel as designated by the principals may assist students in the adminstration of medication. Listed below are guidelines that must be followed before a student is assisted with medication:

The school district retains the discretion to reject request for administering medications.
