We are an Asthma Friendly School!
The American Lung Association is offering parents the Free Asthma Basics training. Parents can create a login and take the one hour asthma course to learn ways to assist their child. Once complete, there is a certificate provided.
Please view the Student Health services website to access the new medication forms and or procedure forms. Medication forms, procedure forms, and emergency care plans must be renewed by the parent, at or before the beginning of each school year in order for your child to receive medication or procedures during school hours on a school campus.
