The only exception to this is if a parent needs to bring medication and that must be taken directly to the nurse as no student is allowed to be in possession of any prescribed and/or over the counter medication.  TO REVIEW THE ENTIRE POLICY PLEASE SEE OUR WEBSITE   https://www.dvusd.org/domain/12351
