Dear Brookside Families,
The students and staff of Brookside Elementary School are reviewing food allergies in the school setting. Information is being discussed about the eight most common food allergies, known as the “big eight”, food triggers, signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction, what to do and how to prevent an allergic reaction. Please discuss this important health topic with friends and family.
For more information:

Students requiring medication during school hours must provide the following:
A written statement from the prescribing physician identifying the name, dosage, frequency and purpose of the medication as well as written permission from the parent/guardian for the administration of the medication.
Students may be approved to self-administer specific medication in certain life-threatening conditions, such as Anaphylaxis and Asthma. Written permission from the physician and parent must be obtained.
Prescription medication must be brought to the Health Office in the original container with the pharmacist's label, the prescription number, student's name, dose to be given, and physician's name.
Over-the-counter-medications adhere to the same requirements as prescription medications (as stated above) and must be provided in their original packaging.
