Asthma Resources for School Nurses and School Health Coordinators

As a child’s primary health resource in the schools, your role in improving coordination between the school and the child’s primary doctor around asthma management is critical. One strategy you can employ is contacting the pediatricians either individually or collectively (through a meeting) to discuss and design possible avenues of collaboration.

Below are several tools you can use to help facilitate the flow of important information between the school and doctor.

Letter to Doctor from School Administrator: Word or PDF

Sample District Protocol Policy (Word)
