Sick students should be sent to the health office to call home.
Students need permission from their teacher to see the Health Assistant.
Students are not permitted to go to the health office between class times. Emergencies will be handled as they occur.
Students should only call home to be picked up for health-related reasons if they check with the health office first.
Students are not allowed to bring in prescription medication. All prescription medication must be brought into the health office by an adult.
Parents, please inform the school health office of all current or ongoing medical concerns so that we may better serve your student's needs. A parent/guardian must bring prescription medication to school in the labeled bottle with the student's name, doctor, medication, dosage, frequency, and a request for Administration of Medication Form.
The health assistant can dispense over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tums, or Benedryl with the verbal consent of a parent. Middle school students may carry OTC medication in the original container with enough doses for the school day.
Students are not to be in possession of prescription medications(s) at school, at a school activity, or on the bus. Prescription medications are considered drugs, and student distribution of these medications will have the same consequences as the distribution of a controlled substance as per district policy.
