Food and Other Severe Allergies

The district requests to be notified when a student has been diagnosed with a food or other life-threatening allergy.  Please complete the annual Student Health Information portion of online enrollment to report your child's allergies.  If your child's health or allergies change after completing enrollment or during the school year, please contact the school nurse.

Allergy Forms

The following forms are required to be completed by you and your child’s physician.  These forms must be completed each school year in order for the school nurse to provide student-specific training to teachers and staff that interact with your child on a regular basis.  Please return completed forms to the school nurse as soon as possible. 

ALL students with known severe allergies should provide:

• Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan -Physician’s Signature Required, Prosper ISD form strongly preferred  

        *Please note that if a different form is used, the school nurse will convert the information to a PISD Emergency Action plan when distributed to school staff for consistency in staff training & response.

If your child will need emergency medication at school, you should also provide:

• A Medication Request form for the prescribed epinephrine auto-injector
• A Medication Request form for the prescribed antihistamine
• A Medication Request form for the prescribed inhaler, if applicable
• The above medication(s), non-expired, and in their original container(s). Prescription medications must have the prescription label attached.

*Please note that PISD will NOT accept a student’s epinephrine auto-injector without a current school year Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan signed by a provider.
