Extended release ibuprofen before school?
I see your problem. But I see the school's problem too.

Interesting. Our son takes presecription medicine every day after lunch. The school keeps it in the office (in a seperate bag, under lock and key). They call us when he is about to run out and we take another month-or-so supply. They carefully count it and sign it in when we take it. He's one of many they do this for.
