Managing a child's asthma is a team effort, involving you, your child, your child's healthcare providers, and the school. All members of the team want to be able to communicate, ask questions, and share information about your child's health and well-being.
To begin the process, complete the Parent Asthma Intake Form for your school nurse. This asthma intake form only needs to be completed one time, or as your child’s asthma condition changes.
Middle School and High School Students
Middle and high school students may self-carry their rescue asthma medications without a physician order or self-carry contract in place. Parents will simply need to notify the health office at their school that the student will carry the rescue asthma medication.
Elementary School Students
If your elementary student will need rescue medication at school, please have your healthcare provider complete the Colorado School Asthma Care Plan. This form requires physician and parent completion each school year. To have your student carry and self-administer their rescue asthma medications, please complete the Permission to Self-Carry Contract Form.
