Health Program

A nurse provides nursing services during the week.

All medications, upon parent/guardian/health care provider’s written request/directions, must be handled by the nurse and brought to her office. All medications must be in the original container, labeled with the student’s name, name of medication, and directions for administration of medication. All medications must be accompanied by a parent’s permission note. All prescription medication must have a physician’s note.

Any student who is ill and/or running a temperature in the morning prior to school should be kept at home and not sent to school. Any student sent home due to running a temperature must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.

Parents will be notified if their child becomes sick or is injured during school hours. If parents cannot be reached, persons indicated on the emergency card will be contacted. Please be sure all emergency contact names and numbers are up-to-date throughout the school year!
