Medication Return or Disposal
As we approach the end of the school year, we would like to ensure student’s medications in the health room are returned. The Platte County R-3 School District medication policy does NOT allow medications to be sent home with a student or be kept in the health room over the summer.
Medications must be picked up in the health room during regular school hours.
If you would prefer to have the school dispose of your child’s medications, please notify the school nurse by Tuesday, May 25th.
All Medications remaining in the health room at the end of the school day, 11:40 on Wednesday, May 26th, will be properly disposed of by the school nurse.
If you have any questions, please call the school nurse, Kelly Thomas, at 816.436.9623
