If Your Child Feels Sick
If your child feels ill, they need to
get their planner pass signed from their teacher and go to the health
room immediately. They need to sign in the log book. The nurse will
take their temperature and call their parents/guardians if they need to
go home. Please have students stay home if they are ill before school.
Emergencies and First Aid
Care will be given up to the limits of
state law. An aid car will be summoned for injuries or illnesses that
are judged to require more than basic first aid. It is very important
that you have current emergency contacts and phone numbers on file in
the health room.
Picking Up Sick Students
If your student becomes ill at school,
and needs to go home, he or she can only leave with someone listed on
their enrollment card. Please be sure that anyone who you may want to
pick up your student is on that card. They need to bring their ID in
with them. Thank you.
Medication
Student may not administer medications
to themselves at school. This includes over-the-counter and
prescription medicine. School district employees can give them
medication when the proper procedures are followed. If your
son/daughter is under the care of a doctor or dentist and needs to take
medicine, please follow this procedure:
Ask the nurse for a medication request form. Your doctor and parents must sign it.
Parent returns the form to the nurse along with a limited amount of the necessary medication (in the original container).
The medication is kept in a locked cabinet in the health room.
The student will come to the health
room (with a pass) when they need the medication, and the health
clerk/nurse will dispense and document it.
