We keep updated lists of all of our students that have allergies requiring Benadryl, Inhalers and/or Epi-Pens. Students at the High School level that need an Epi-Pen are expected to carry them in their backpacks or on their person at all times. We periodically check in with each student to make sure that this happens. Any reminders from home are greatly appreciated.
Ideally, each student that has been prescribed an Epinephrine pen, should have an extra stored in the Health Office as well.
Students with asthma are encouraged to carry their own inhalers and use them as prescribed by their physicians.
