• Asthma Tips

    Inhalers will be kept in the clinic, only.

    We provide inhaler medication in the clinic following the basic medication rules. Inhalers may only be dropped off or picked up by parents. Inhalers found in the  possession of students will be confiscated and parents will be alerted to retrieve them at their convenience.

    The Asthma Action Plan

    Most physician's offices will provide an Asthma Action Plan for school inhaler use. Below is a copy of the form for you to download as needed:

    Asthma Education

    The NEISD asthma educator is Diane Rhodes, BBA, RRT, AE-C, RCP. She may be reached at (210) 356-9247 or drhode@neisd.net . 

    Self carry of inhalers is not supported in the elementary school setting, but we do begin education for students approaching middle school so they are ready when they arrive.
