ETA: You also have to drop off the medication daily and pick it up at the end of the day (the parent does) because they do not want to be responsible for storing meds in the school. It's kind of messed up. My daughter IS allowed to carry her Epi-Pen and her asthma inhaler on her person at all times though.

My school district does allow parents to leave over-the-counter meds with the nurse. They have to have the specific permission and dosage written and signed by the parent. Daily meds can have enough left for a weekly dosage. That is kind of messed up that your school won't.
