Food
Allergies: |
If
your child has food allergies please list them on the enrollment
and health cards that you fill out each year. Set up a visit or call
your school nurse to talk about an individual plan of care for your
child. If an EpiPen is indicated for the treatment of the allergy
please provide one for school use. The parent, child, physician,
and school work together to provide a
safe educational
environment
by minimizing
risks
and
providing
treatment when necessary for students with severe food allergies.

Insect
Sting Allergy: |
If your child
has a known allergic reaction to insect bites or stings and requires
the use of an EpiPen please
notify the school nurse. Set up a conference or call
the nurse to discuss what types of symptoms your child has
experienced in the past. You will also want to fill
out the required LISD Medication Authorization Form and provide an
EpiPen for use at school.
Children who are not known to be allergic can experience various
effects from ant, bee, and wasps stings depending on their sensitivity
and the number of bites or stings incurred. Local reactions can include
pain, swelling, redness, and itching. More sever reactions
require emergency treatment.

it is necessary for a child to have emergency medical care and it
