Health and Safety
If the school is to do its part in protecting the health of all the students, it must have complete health records on each student. It is important that you inform the school nurse or principal about any particular health problems or needs your child has.
Each of the schools has the services of a Registered Professional Nurse. It is her/his responsibility to maintain health records for each student, to administer first aid, to inspect and examine students with symptoms of illness or infection, to perform state mandated screenings of vision, hearing and scoliosis. Nurses are available to discuss any student health concerns or related items with parents. You are informed of any condition that needs correction.
Under no circumstances may students be permitted to self-administer medicine. Only medication prescribed by a physician may be administered in school by the school nurse, per the physician's written instructions. These medications must be delivered to the Health Office by an adult in a labeled container; please do not send medications with your child. Over-the-counter drugs cannot be administered in school by school personnel unless prescribed by a physician.
You should receive an emergency form for each of your children. On these forms you should include phone numbers where parents may be reached and emergency contacts to notify in the event a child may become ill or injured during the school hours and parents are unavailable. In the best interest of your child, we urge you to complete and return these cards promptly each year. Any change of a student's personal status should be reported to the school office in advance, including: moving (within or out of the district), telephone number change, name change (family or individual), temporary residence change due to family emergency, or other items such as an extended vacation or trip abroad.
