Inhaler Use

Illinois law allows your child personal access to an inhaler in case of an asthma attack.

• In accordance with the law, District 63's medication policy permits all students with asthma to have access to their inhalers at all times. Students with asthma may carry their inhalers and self-administer as long as they have parent permission and a proper prescription.
• Parents are requested to provide doctor's orders to the school nurse regarding emergency treatment for a severe asthma episode.
• Please complete the School Medication Authorization Form and initial the line that says you are giving permission for your child to carry an inhaler at school. Then your child must bring in the inhaler properly labeled from the pharmacy to show the nurse.
