As per an update from the PA Department of Health (PDH), sunscreen application forms are not yet available from the PA Department of Education (PDE) for Act 105 of 2018 sunscreen-carry and self-application, which was signed into law October 24, 2018. As per the law, parents/guardians and students must each submit a permission form to the school for a student to self-carry and self-apply sunscreen at school. The forms are currently being developed by PDE.

Students who are unable to self-apply sunscreen must have an order from the school physician or their primary care provider along with parental permission as with any other over-the-counter medication.
