| The school nurse gives first
aid only. She does not diagnose illnesses but takes note of symptoms and
notifies the parents of her observations if necessary. We ask that
children be kept at home when ill and have a normal temperature for 24 -
36 hours after any illness before returning to school. This is important
for the health of the child and for the health of all children at the
school. PLEASE KEEP YOUR EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER UPDATED FOR OUR INFORMATION. |
For Your Information |

H1N1 Update |
Medication |
For the protection of all students, we have some very strict rules regarding medication to be given at school. Only medication (both prescription and over-the-counter) can be administered with a written physician’s order and a parent note. The medication must be in the original prescription bottle and kept at the clinic. We ask that an adult deliver the medication to the clinic or school office and an adult will also need to pick it up after school. |
Illness at School |
If your child becomes ill or severely injured at school we will make every attempt to reach you using the information available on the Emergency Card. If a parent/guardian is not available we will then contact the other alternative adults listed. In an extreme emergency EMS may need to be called. |
Absence due to Illness |
| The nurse has the responsibility if she suspects a contagious health condition to request that the child be picked up by the parent or guardian and examined by a physician for diagnosis and treatment. In the event of a contagious illness, please notify the school upon confirmation of diagnosis. |
Non-Participation in Physical Education |
| A letter or school health form from your doctor is necessary if your child has any special health problem, such as allergies (severe), severe asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, or heart problems which would cause possible restriction of physical education activities. You, the parent, may request that your child be excused from physical education activities for a maximum of three days. Any period longer than that requires a statement from your doctor. |
