Asthma

Did you know that over 10% of school aged children have Asthma? It is important for your child to have an inhaler and spacer at school if they have been diagnosed with asthma. Even if your child has not had an asthma attack in a while, having their rescue inhaler at school could save a trip to the hospital and missed days of school. It could even save your child's life. If your child has been diagnosed with Asthma, and does not have his/her inhaler at school, please ask your doctor to fill out a Medication Authorization form and an Asthma Action Plan and turn them into school with your child's inhaler and spacer.
