Dear Parent/Guardian:
As required by Ellington Board of Education policy, all medication must be picked up at your child’s school by Thursday, June 18, which is the last day of school. Please make arrangements for yourself or another responsible adult to pick up your child’s medication from the school nurse. Any medication that has not been picked up on the last day of school will be discarded.
In addition, please see the enclosed medication authorization form for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. Please have your child’s health care provider complete one form for each medication that your child will be taking at school. Be sure to complete the parent/guardian section. Prescription medication must be in the original pharmacy bottle or box with the prescription label. If it is an over-the-counter medication, please bring in a new, unopened package.
All forms and medications for the next school year should be brought to your child’s school nurse prior to Aug. 27, 2026. If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse.
Thank you for your cooperation and have a fun and relaxing summer.
