Students with Asthma
Asthma Medications/Plan:
Your child's inhaler can be given at school per the following steps:
1) Form: Asthma Action Plan** must be completed in the school clinic, whether the student is self-carrying or leaving their inhaler in the clinic
If self-carrying, the physician must sign approval that your child has been instructed, understands self-medicating, and can carry their rescue inhaler
2) All forms must have a parent and physician signature
3) Your students inhaler needs to have a prescription label on it/the box - we cannot accept it without a label
Remember: If you'd like your student to carry their own inhaler, the school nurse cannot monitor their asthma. Be sure your student knows to see the nurse if the asthma inhaler does not provide enough relief
**WE DO NOT PROVIDE NEBULIZING TREATMENTS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS - If your student needs a nebulizing treatment, you will need to take them home to provide it**
