Lake Ridge Middle School

Immediate Release Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Emphasizes Asthma Awareness and Preparedness for Student Health Gary, Indiana - Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School is dedicated to providing a safe environment for all students, especially those managing asthma. To support asthma awareness and preparedness, we are distributing an Asthma Awareness Fact Sheet and asking parents and guardians to complete an Asthma Action Plan for their children as needed. These documents are attached to this announcement. Asthma is a manageable condition, but it requires proper planning and response. The Asthma Action Plan provides critical details that can help school staff respond effectively to a child experiencing asthma symptoms, ensuring that every student with asthma has the support they need to stay healthy and engaged in school activities. Parents and guardians are encouraged to review the fact sheet, print and complete the Asthma Action Plan if applicable, and submit it to the school’s nursing department. These documents are essential for the health and safety of students with asthma. Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School is also proud to have staff trained in asthma management basics. This training equips our team to recognize asthma symptoms, manage asthma-related emergencies, and support students in maintaining good health throughout the school day. For further questions, please contact the nursing department at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School.
