A letter from the HPS Medical Team:
Dear Hartford Family,
As we look ahead to the 2025-2026 school year, we want to ensure all our students with medical needs are well-supported.
If your child will be attending Hartford Public Schools, and has a medical condition that requires care or medication during school hours, we need your help. The district requires specific forms to be completed. These include the medical release form, medication authorization forms, and medical management plans, which must be signed by your child's physician and dated after July 1st, 2025. Medical management plans are more in depth instructions that pertain to a specific condition.
Conditions that often require medical management plans include:
Asthma
Life-threatening allergies (anaphylaxis), including food allergies
Seizures
Diabetes
If your child has one or more of these conditions, please go to the school’s webpage to print the appropriate forms and take these to your child’s doctor for completion.
Please remember: We cannot give medication or make changes to food service for your child at school without written permission from both you and their medical provider (emergency situations are an exception).
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students happy and healthy. Go Huskies!
