Student Health and Wellness

Florida Virtual School is dedicated to prioritizing the health and personal growth of all students. FLVS understands the unique challenges faced by students with medical conditions.  To help alleviate these challenges, FLVS has developed Emergency Care Plans for students with specific health conditions.

In compliance with Florida Statutes s. 1002.20(3)(j), F.S., 1006.0626(2)(b), F.S., Rules 6A-6.0251, 6A-6.0252, 6A-6.0253 and FLVS Policy 5335: Care of Students with Chronic Health Conditions we require the establishment of Emergency Care Plans for students with specific medical conditions. These care plans are comprehensive documents that detail the student’s medical diagnosis, outline necessary procedures, medications, and emergency actions that FLVS staff should take if a student experiences severe symptoms related to their condition. At the beginning of each school year, we request Emergency Care Plans be submitted for students diagnosed with diabetes, epilepsy/seizures, asthma, an anaphylactic reaction, and cystic fibrosis. You can access FLVS Emergency Care Plans by clicking the links below:

  1. Individual Seizure Action Plan (ISAP)
  2. Diabetes Emergency Management Plan
  3. Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan
  4. Asthma Emergency Care Plan
  5. Cystic Fibrosis Emergency Care Plan

If your students' health plan involves the administration of medication, then a Medication Authorization Form needs to be completed as well.

Medication Authorization Form
These plans will be utilized when students attend in-person state testing and/or in-person events that parents/guardians do not accompany the student. Florida Virtual School cannot accept Emergency Care Plans or Medication Authorization Forms that do not have the parent and physician signatures. All plans will remain in effect until the next school year.

Once these forms are completed by your child’s physician, please email them to studenthealth@flvs.net.

You may exercise your parental right to decline having an Emergency Care Plan on file for your student. If you decline submitting a plan, please sign the declination form below email it to studenthealth@flvs.net.

Chronic Health Plan Declination

Please note that if your student were to experience severe symptoms related to their medical condition around school personnel, 911 and emergency services will be contacted.

For questions regarding emergency care plans, please email studenthealth@flvs.net.

Other FAQs

Most of our students participate in end of year state testing at in-person locations across Florida. Due to the nature of the medical condition, it is important for school staff to be aware of the student’s diagnosis and what necessary steps they will need to take to ensure the student’s safety. 

Once the Emergency Care Plan is completed by your child's physician, you may email the completed plan, including parent and physician's signatures to studenthealth@flvs.net.
