[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 67104, member: 1498"] Asking a teacher to watch for certain behaviors or changes in behavior because of a medication change does not require that the teacher know what medications are involved. Nor does the teacher need to know what specific medications and what dosages a child is taking to understand that the child takes medications that can cause adverse reactions which might impacted his/her performance in school. I would tell the school if my child were severely allergic to a food that might be served -- the peanut allergy thing comes to mind -- but I don't see the purpose of telling if there is a mild allergy. Another allergy I would mention is bee stings. Since the schools don't provide medication for the students, school officials really have no need to know if a child is allergic to a medication short of whatever OTC pain pill they might provide....which I believe they are required to get parental permission first before they give anything to a child. The schools deal with a lot of students. They really don't need to deal with medication and allergy lists from all of them. [/QUOTE]
