The health room is located in the front office. Students are allowed to visit the health room for illness, injury, and/or health support they may need. Cimarron also has a District Health Assistant who is trained in Basic First Aid/CPR and receives specific training and delegation from the School Nurse Consultant. Please see DCSD's Nursing Services Site for more information about the School Nurse Consultant role and the health room.

Carrying Medication in Middle School

• • Middle school students may carry up to a one-day supply of over-the-counter (OTC) medication (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) in the original, labeled container. No additional forms or paperwork are required.

  • Students who need to carry prescription medication must have a completed Permission to Carry Medication Form on file.

Medications Stored in the Health Room

• If your student will have medication kept in the Health Room, a completed District Provider Authorization Form is required.

  • This form must be submitted for all medications, including emergency medications, daily medications, and over-the-counter medications. 

Please refer to the District Medication Policy for full details and requirements.

Important: The school does not supply medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen (Advil®/Motrin®), or diphenhydramine (Benadryl®). Students must have their own medication provided from home with the appropriate paperwork on file.

If you have any concerns about your student’s attendance due to health, please refer to the District's Guidelines for Determining Student Attendance.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your student’s health and attending school, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.  The Cimarron Middle School attendance line is 720-433-0122, or you can fill out this Google Attendance Form

A concussion may affect a student’s ability to learn. Because every brain and every student is different, every concussion is different. Recovery time will be unique to each student, requiring an individualized approach to determine when it is appropriate to begin to return to athletic activity and full academics. Therefore, it is essential to have a concussion adjustment plan in place to help concussed students heal while continuing their education. Together, the concussion team will work to provide students support and guidance.

The Cimarron School Nurse Consultant works to connect health and learning so students can feel safe, supported, and ready to succeed at school. The school nurse partners with families, teachers, special education staff, and healthcare providers to ensure each student’s health needs are understood and supported throughout the school day.

This support may include participating in IEP and 504 meetings, developing individualized health care plans, coordinating care between home and medical providers, training and supporting staff who work with students with complex medical needs, and ensuring appropriate emergency plans are in place.

The goal is to help every student safely access their education and participate as fully as possible in their school experience.
