Health Policies

First Aid/School Nurse

• We have the services of a full-time registered nurse. In her absence, the office staff will oversee the health office.
• First aid is administered as necessary.
• In the event of a serious injury, the parents are contacted immediately. If the situation warrants, paramedics will be called; the ambulance cost will be the parent's responsibility.
• Emergency information must be up-to-date.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: Any student with a fever of 100 degrees or more will be sent home. The student must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
  
  Medication
  
• The school nurse or designated office personnel administer medication. Students may not carry medication at any time. (Ask the nurse if you would like your child to carry their inhaler for asthma)
• Students who require medication at school must have two letters on file in our office. Please see the nurse for these forms.
• We cannot administer aspirin, cough medicine, or other medicines. All medication must be brought to school by the parent. Children may not bring medicine to school. Please see the nurse to make arrangements to drop off medication.
