Health Room

Students must have a pass from their teacher to visit the health room with the exception of emergencies or during lunch. 

Dismissal from school through the health room will require permission from a parent, legal guardian, or emergency contact on the current school year student emergency information form. 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. 

Student Emergency Forms will be given to all students during the first week of school. Please have parents complete, sign, and return to school. It is very important that this information is on file in the health room in case of an emergency and for safe dismissal purposes (we can only use the current year's student information form. 

It is against School District Policy for a student to carry ANY medication on their person without prior approval. All medication must be maintained in the Health Room. All medication kept in the Health Room must be picked up by the parent/guardian by the last day of the school year, or it will be destroyed.

All prescription medicine must have written parental and physician authorization before medication can be administered at school. Form MED-1. 

All prescription medicine must be brought to school by a legal guardian or designated person over 18 years of age and given directly to the school nurse or designated school personnel.

Over the counter medications may be provided by the parent if it is in the original container, clearly labeled with the student’s name and is accompanied by written parental permission. Form MED-3.   

Students with medication prescribed by a health care provider contained in the original packaging and appropriately labeled may carry these medications, may self-monitor and may self-administer these medications only if the school has permission from the prescribing doctor and the parent/legal guardian. If there is sufficient evidence that unsupervised self-monitoring or self-medicating would seriously jeopardize the safety of the student or others, (stimulants, pain relief medication, and anti-depressants for example) the school district may refuse to allow the student to carry his/her medication. Medications that are approved for self-administering are asthma inhalers, insulin for diabetic students, and Epi-Pens for severe allergic reactions. Please use form MED-2.
