Health Room

Health Room 

Students must have a pass from their teacher in order to visit the health room. (Exception: emergencies or during lunch). Dismissal from school through the health room will require permission from a parent, legal guardian, or emergency card designee. If contact with one of these individuals is not possible, the student will not be dismissed. Students spending longer than 45 minutes of class time in the health room will be counted as absent from that class period. 

Medication required during the school day must follow these guidelines 

All medication must be kept in the health room. (Any exception needs written authorization from the school nurse.) All medications (prescription and over-the-counter) brought to school must have written parent permission on file in the health room. All prescription medications and any medication that a student self-administers must also have written physician permission on file in the health room. Permission forms can be obtained from the school nurse or downloaded from the RHS website. All over-the-counter medication must be provided in the original, unopened container. Prescription medication must be delivered to the school by a parent/legal guardian in the original container. There is no grace period before written physician authorization is required for all prescription medications. 

Student Emergency Forms 

Forms will be given to all students during the first week of school. Please have parents complete, sign, and return the form to school. It is very important that this information is on file in the health room in case of an emergency.
