Is Your Child Receiving Medical Treatment for Asthma or A Serious Allergy?
Asthma/Anaphylaxis Action Plan Required
by Amy Cook RN, District Nurse
August 27, 2009
Welcome Back! We have many students at Lewis Central with
asthma or anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction). If your
son or daughter is currently using an inhaler or requires an
epi-pen, we will need an Asthma/ Anaphylaxis Action Plan form
completed by their medical provider. We would greatly appreciate
your cooperation in having this form completed and returning it to
school as soon as possible. An emergency care plan will be
developed for those students who have an Asthma Action Plan
directive on file. In the event your child has a severe asthma
attack or allergic reaction and we do not have an Asthma Action
plan on file, our district wide protocol will be initiated. This
will involve an emergency squad call and transport at the parent’s
expense. A student’s health and safety is our top priority. Feel
free to contact one of the district nurses with any concerns or
questions.
Thank you.
