If you need access to any school-related medical forms and/or action plans for your child, this is the page to access health information and forms.
If your child suffers from asthma, diabetes, seizure disorder, food allergy and/or an insect allergy, you must complete an Action Plan. Your family physician should also sign the completed form and return it to your child’s school.
If your child needs to take prescription medication or over the counter medication while at school, a Medication Authorization must be completed by the prescribing physician. Medication cannot be administered without the medication authorization form on file.
