2023-2024 School Year

 Medication at School

If you believe your child will require medication at school, prescription, or over-the-counter, during the school year, please download the Medication Permission Form. Ask your child's doctor to complete this form over the summer and bring the signed form with the prescribed medication on the first day of school. Check the expiration dates on all medications, inhalers, EpiPens, and diabetic supplies to ensure they will last through the end of the school year. 

If your student carries an EpiPen or inhaler, please complete the Permission to Carry EpiPens/Inhalers/Diabetic Supplies Form and return to your building's school nurse.​ This is in addition to the school district's Medication Permission Form.

Food Allergies

If your child has a life-threatening food allergy and requires an epi-pen at school, please have your doctor complete this Food Allergy Action Plan and bring this completed plan with the medication on the first day of school. For grades K-6, parents must complete an Allergy Self Management Checklist to be submitted at the beginning of the new school year. 

Immunizations

Please be sure your child's immunizations are in compliance with Pennsylvania Department of Health and Allegheny County guidelines before the beginning of the school year. 

Please note the immunization requirements for students going into 7th and 12th grade. These are required before the start of school. Please provide an updated immunization record to the school health office.
