If your child needs to use an inhaler at school, please make sure to send in a Doctor's order form,  Asthma Action Plan, signed parent permission form and medication in a pharmacy labeled container along with a spacer.

Medications must be kept in the nurse's office.  Please ask the nurse for an order form- it can be sent to you via email or a paper form can be sent home with your child.  

An adult should transport all medications to the school.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, ask your child’s health care team if your child should temporarily use an inhaler with a spacer instead of a nebulizer. If someone has a viral illness (like COVID-19), the mist from nebulizers may increase the spread of virus to others nearby.

If your child has COVID-19 and must use a nebulizer, others should stay out of the room or wear protective equipment (PPE), including a mask. Ask your child’s health care team how to protect others in your household while your child uses their nebulizer.
