LVISD rules state that students are not allowed to carry medications. Any medicine that they need must be kept in the school nurse's office. All medications must be sent to the nurse in their original container along with written permission from the parent to take it.
The only exception to that rule is inhalers for asthmatics, Epi-Pens for students with serious allergies and diabetics whose parents have contacted the school nurse.
