Don't have an EMERGENCY...Have a PLAN!
All health treatment plans must be renewed annually and can be found at the bottom of this page. Please print a copy and take it with you for the Provider to complete during your child's evaluation. Make a copy of the completed plan for yourself and email a copy to me and I will make sure that your child's team is aware of the plan. In addition to the health treatment plan, please remember to fill out a medication form FOR EACH medication that your child will need to take during the school day.
