The Little Falls School District has in place a policy for administering medications. NO over the counter medication like cough syrup, Tylenol, pepto bismol, etc. will be given without parent AND doctor permission. A parent/doctor permission form, available at school will need to be completed if your student is to take ANY medication during school hours. If your child is ill enough to be kept home from school, we ask that you notify the school office right away in the morning.

If you would like your child's vision and/or hearing checked at any time during the school year, feel free to call nursing services.
