Non-Prescription Medication (Over-The-Counter), such as pain medications, cough syrup, cough drops or creams, will NOT be administered without a completed form signed by the parent/guardian and provider. Medications must be brought to school in their original container and clearly marked with the child's name. (See bullet points below)

Prescription Medications will need an order form completed and signed by the parent/guardian and the physician.  (See bullet points below)

1. First, don't panic. Check their inhaler to make sure it still has medicine.
2. If necessary, you can likely use their expired albuterol inhaler as it probably still at least partially effective.
3. If you can't obtain a refill on their meter dose inhaler, contact your health care provider as there are other options available which they can prescribe.
4. It is important that they don't overuse their albuterol inhaler as one canister should last for months
5. If you have any concerns or questions, don't hesitate to contact me via email.  I am always monitoring my messages.
