Heading back to school is exciting, but it can also mean new asthma triggers—dust in classrooms, seasonal allergies, playground activity, even viruses that spread quickly in busy environments.

That’s why having an Asthma Action Plan is so important! This personalized plan helps teachers, school nurses, and your child understand what to do if asthma symptoms flare up.

Tips for parents:

Share your child’s Asthma Action Plan with the school.
Make sure your child has quick-relief medication available if prescribed.
Remind them of their triggers and how to avoid them.
Schedule a check-in with your allergist/asthma specialist to update prescriptions before school starts.

With the right plan in place, your child can breathe easier and focus on learning—not their asthma. 💙
