MarthaMI don’t give my kids meds at school. I give them their meds when they wake up, about 7:30 school days, after school 3:00 and at bedtime, between 8:30 and 10:00 PM. This has worked fin for us- my kids levels are good. It really depends on the child on how often they need to be dosed. I am sure it depends on if the child has any enzyme activity and how rapidly they clear the cortef.
Good luck.
