Severe Allergies in School

Does your child have a mild to severe allergy that may affect their school day?

If your child has a mild to severe allergy that requires medication, please talk to your doctor about prescribing these life saving medications for school. You can ask them for a prescription for school, or take our school form to request physician's authorization for medications to be taken at school (see below). With parent and physician authorization, staff can assist your child with their medication(s) during school hours. If they can take their medication independently, we kindly request that parent and physician authorization is completed to designate that they may self-administer their medication. We appreciate your assistance in obtaining this prescription for school as without it, students are not permitted to carry or self-administer medication(s) and staff cannot assist to administer any medication for safety reasons. (California Education Code 33308.5, 49400, 49423) 

Please be sure to talk to your child's school nurse about your child's medication so that an allergy action plan (like the one to the left) can be developed to help your child stay healthy and safe at school. Thank you for your assistance and we look forward to a healthy and safe school year!
