Medications in School

  • If your child will need medication at school, please print the Medication Administration Request Form, or the appropriate form for your child's medical condition (such as asthma, food allergies, diabetes, seizures) under the Ganado ISD Health Forms and have your healthcare provider complete, sign, and return it. 
     
    If your child will self-carry their emergency medication (such as an inhaler, epinephrine auto-injector, diabetic medications/supplies), please contact the school nurse or principal for the appropriate form(s) and return to school. This form must be signed by your healthcare provider.  
    • If your child is in 7th grade or older and participates in sports and/or other activities, we highly recommend that your child self-carry their emergency medication.
    • The Health Office must be aware that the child has medication with him/her.
