The Back-to-School Essential Every Parent of a Child with Asthma Needs

Back-to-school season is here! Between shopping for supplies and meeting new teachers, it’s easy to overlook one of the most important items your child needs—a current asthma action plan.

An asthma action plan is a step-by-step guide that helps teachers, school nurses, and even your child know exactly what to do if symptoms flare up. It outlines daily care, what to watch for, and when to use medications—keeping your child safe and confident throughout the school day.

✅ Review and update your child’s plan with their doctor

✅ Share copies with the school nurse, teachers, and coaches

✅ Make sure rescue medications are accessible and not expired

Starting the school year prepared means fewer worries for you—and more time for your child to focus on learning, friends, and fun.
