Food and Life Threatening Allergies
The district requests to be notified when a student has been diagnosed with a food or other life-threatening allergy. Please complete the Student Health Form every year during yearly registration. If your child's health or allergies change during the school year, please contact the school nurse.
Allergy Forms
Please complete the Allergy Action Plan with your child's healthcare provider and return it to the school nurse, along with their prescribed allergy medication. A Self Carry Consent form must be signed by the student's healthcare provider in order to carry their prescribed epinephrine auto-injector while at school.
