With Back to School in full swing I though we could discuss what we each do as far as educating school staff and which medical records to send with them.  I the past when Claire first started at her current school I had a meeting with her teachers, principle, school secretary and nurse (if they have one).

I also have binder that is in the office with her medications.  I have them log when every Claire takes medication, her symptoms, and location of pain.  (Then when the doctor asks how often she is having headaches I can check) This binder also contains a full listing of current doctors, insurance information and the most recent copies of reports (oncologist, ENT, hearing test, pain doctors, and education plan - including physical restrictions).  I also have a copy of a CD with most recent CAT and MRI's.  I include this much information in case of a medical emergency.  I have instructed that the binder stays with Claire anytime the class leaves school grounds. 

I also include the information sheet from the website (with copies in the front pockets for anyone to take).  I also have information sheets from of the websites listed in the link section.  I am also considering medical alert jewelery. I also provide the address to Claire's Caring bridge site, which this website is listed as a link.

I'm excited to hear what other people do.  My goal is to some day have a power presentation or movie to show staff at a school in service or meeting.  I also take this binder with me when we travel and plan on adding the articles that Jana suggested in the post about travel.

Beth, Proud Mom of Claire!
