Follow Action Plan: Recurrent asthma attacks at school are a sign that your child's asthma is not well controlled. If the problem persists even if you're following the asthma action plan, that means that the asthma is changing and the action plan needs to be adjusted. Time to see your allergist for a reevaluation.

Check with school: Your child's condition should be discussed with the school's nurse or whoever is in charge of such thing. It is likely that your child's control may require reassessment if it is getting worse. You may also want to check with the school about new animals (particularly fur bearing) being used for instructions.

Asthma Action Plan: If your child is on regular meds for asthma it would be prudent to have a prepared asthma action plan on file with the school nurse. There are many templates on various asthma websites & the kids pcp may have one s/he likes to use. They list the meds the kids are on, the type of rescue meds that could be administered at school & the point where the kid needs to come in for urgent care.
