Wayland High School is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, especially those with life-threatening allergies or asthma.

Students who require EpiPens or asthma inhalers should carry their own medication at all times to ensure immediate access to treatment. A backup EpiPen or inhaler may be stored in the Health Office if desired.

In order for students to carry and self-administer their medications, we must have a current physician’s order and/or Emergency Action Plan (e.g., Emergency Health Care Plan for EpiPen administration or Asthma Action Plan), as well as parental authorization. These forms must be updated each school year and are available on the Wayland Public Schools website or from the Health Office.

Completed forms should be returned to the WHS Health Office as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact us at 508-358-3712.  Thank you for partnering with us to keep your child safe and prepared.

Noreen D’Amico, RN, BSN
