    • Plans must be given to the PASAR Site Manager at your child's school prior to your child starting PASAR.
    • A copy of the Medical Action Plan that is on file with the school nurse can be copied and given to the PASAR Site Manager.
    • Parents of any student with an epi-pen must bring over-the-counter Benadryl®, as PASAR will not stock Benadryl® for students with epi-pens.
