Good afternoon parents and guardians, if your child requires medication at school you must contact the nurses office at your child’s campus to obtain all proper documents in order for the medication to be on site, this includes inhalers and emergency medications that are self carried and administered. Medications can only be dropped off and signed in with the school nurse, please call your campuses school nurse and make arrangements to do this. The Taos Municipal Schools nursing department looks forward to continuing to meet your child’s health needs and promoting their overall well-being this school year.
