• Please notify the school nurse if your student has been diagnosed with asthma. 
• It is important that your student have access to their rescue inhaler before, during, and after school. 
• Discuss with your physician, student, and school nurse the best location for your student's inhaler (backpack, health room, both).
• Students who carry and self-medicate using an inhaler should have an Authorization for Self Administration of Emergency Medication on file signed by their physician and parent/guardian.
