  • Respond appropriately in the event of an emergency.
  • Provide and evaluate student supports such as language services.
  • Honor the racial/ethnic and/or cultural identity of students.

How do I register medications or care plans?

If your student needs medication or a treatment administered at school, a new medication or treatment request form, is required every school year. Medication, supplies, LHP orders and a nursing care plan must be in place before a student can attend school.

What will happen if my student does not speak English?
