Work Permits:  As many of our students obtain jobs over the summer, please remember that employees mandate that you obtain a work permit.  Please see the attachment for the appropriate work permit based on our age.  You can bring it into the main office for Mr. Stevens to sign during business hours.

Medications:  Will your student be taking any kinds of medications at school (including aspirin, Tylenol, or other over the counter medications)?  If so, these must be kept on file through our main office.  Please bring them into our main office in the prescription bottle or original container that they were bought in and we will dispense these as needed during the school day.
