We can't do that with over the counter meds because the child's name is not on the bottle. We can only do that with prescriptions and, quite honestly, she doesn't need prescription strength ibuprofen, only over the counter.
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.
