When a child requires short-term or long-term medication during the school day, parents are required to contact the school nurse and provide a physician's order, written parental consent, and medication.

If a child has asthma, allergies, diabetes, seizures, or any other condition requiring special health services in the school and/or is assisted with medical technology, etc., it is vital that the parent meet with the school nurse and develop an Individual Health Care Plan prior to school entry. Physician's orders for care in school will need to be shared with the school nurse.
