• ALLERGIES & ASTHMA
     
    If your child has a diagnosis of a food or insect sting/bite allergy, please fill out the Allergy Action Plan and Associated Parent Questionnaire and submit it to the school nurse. This must be done every school year. If your student needs to have emergency rescue medication, the medication administration form will need to be completed also. If your student has permission from their doctor to carry their own emergency medication, a permission to carry medication form will need to be filled out and kept on file in the clinic with the other action plan forms. 
     
    If your student has food allergies and purchases their lunch from the school Café, here is a link to the Forsyth County Schools Nutrition website: Forsyth County Schools Food and Nutrition LINK, where you can see what ingredients are in foods served in Forsyth County Schools. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your school nurse anytime. 
     
    Food/Insect Allergy Health Action Plan Forms(This form will need a doctor's signature.)
     
    Request to Administer Medication Form(Please have a separate form filled out for each medication and if your student needs to take the medication daily for more than 2 weeks, this form will need a doctor's signature.)
     
    Student Permission to Carry Approved Medication Form (If your doctor has approved your student to be able to carry their emergency medications with them while they are at school, your doctor will need to sign this form and have it on file in the school.)
     
     
    If your student has a listed allergy but is no longer allergic to that food, you will need to provide the school with a letter from your child's doctor stating that the student is no longer allergic to the food item. This will be given to the Café and the nurse and added to your children's records so that they can have the food item. 
     
     
    Asthma
     
    If your student has Asthma, please fill out the Asthma Action Plan and if your student requires an Asthma Medication to be kept in the clinic or if your student has permission from their doctor to carry their medication, please fill out the medication forms and give it to the school nurse. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school nurse.

    (please click on the link above for today's pollen count and allergy tips)
     
     
    Parents, if your student suffers from seasonal allergies, please give them medication at home so they can make it through the school day.  If they are suffering from sneezing, coughing, itchy, watery eyes and an itchy nose, they are not performing at their optimal learning level or focusing on the daily tasks.
