Nurse:  At Snow Springs we have a school nurse in the building one day a week.  If your student has a standing illness that needs assistance, please contact our school nurse. Our school nurse is Gale Keeler and can be reached at galekeeler@alpinedistrict.org.  

Dispensing of Medication: Dispensing medication is not a typical function of the school; however, it can be administered when needed.  All medication at school must be dispensed by school personnel with proper authorization from a parent/guardian and health care provider licensed to prescribe prescription medications. The question of dispensing medication during school hours will be considered on an individual request basis.  For further information please refer to District policy: 

http://policy.alpinedistrict.org/policy/5410_Dispensing_Medication_in_School_Policy

Policy permits some medications to be carried by the student and/or kept in the classroom with the teacher.  This includes asthma medication and Epi-Pens.  Please refer to the above policy for details.

Illness:  In consideration of the welfare of all children and staff we ask that any child with visible signs of being sick stay home to recuperate. Students should be fever free for 48 hours before returning to school.
