Epi Pen Policy

Epi Pens are prescription devices that can help deliver emergency epinephrine when a person is having a severe allergic reaction. In previous school years, the school maintained a supply of ‘general use’ Epi Pens for students without a prescription, but no longer supplies Epi Pens for students who do not have a prescription. For students with prescription Epi Pens, please contact the School Nurse to develop an emergency plan and obtain an Epi Pen that will be housed at school. As with other prescription medications, Epi Pens will be brought with students to all off-site activities and administered by a trained staff member if necessary.
