From the Health Office

If your child has any health condition that requires emergency medications like asthma and allergies, please be sure to turn in medication and the appropriate paperwork. Copies of the paperwork can be found on the health page on the district website.

Each condition requires an action plan AND a medication permit (one form per a medication) that needs to be signed by a parent and doctor.

Here are some helpful links:
