Prescription medication must be in its original prescription bottle with the original label attached and brought in by the parent, with a completed form and any doctor instructions. If your student will be carrying medication with them that has been prescribed by their doctor (Epi-Pen, Insulin, etc), please have your doctor complete the appropriate health care plan. In addition to the health care plan, parents are to fill out the Self Carry/Administration Form and return with the health care plan to the clinic. .

Individual Health Care Plans

If your child has a medical condition such as asthma, diabetes, seizures, or severe allergies (that may require epinephrine administration), medical forms must be completed by their primary care provider. If they carry any medication and self-administer the medication here at school (or keep it in their backpack, etc) their care provider must state that on the form. Links to each form are below.

a. Asthma Action Plan

b. Diabetic Medical Management Plan (DMMP)

c. Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan

d. Seizure Action Plan
