News from Nurse Heather
ALL HEALTH FORMS ARE ON OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE UNDER SCHOOLS THEN
HEALTH INFORMATION
This is a reminder that NO medication is allowed at school without an
order from a healthcare provider. This includes but is not limited to any
over-the-counter medications including Tylenol or Ibuprofen, allergy
medications, inhalers, epinephrine, or glucagon and cough drops. In
addition, all medications that are brought to school must be brought in
by an adult. Please note, medication orders and action plans must be
updated every school year. If your child had a medication order or action
plan on file last school year, it cannot be accepted for the 2026-2027
school year.
If your child has a history of allergies (food or environmental), asthma,
seizures, or any other chronic health condition which may require
emergency action while at school, please promptly reach out to me so I
can clarify if there are any accommodations, medications, or paperwork
needed to keep your child safe while at school.
