It is the practice of the Tooele County School District to have a health care plan in place for students who have a health concern. The classroom health care plan (HCP) helps to ensure a better understanding of your child’s health care needs and is directly reviewed with your child’s teacher and principal.
Issues that need to be addressed are:
Administration of medication to student by school personnel
Students carrying and self-administering their own medication
Diet modifications
Medical conditions
Physical cares that need to be done during school hours
HCPs require signatures from parents/guardians and health care providers. Under Utah Code 53-A-11-601 medication administration and possession of medication is allowed at school as long as consents are signed by parents/guardians and the health care provider.
If your student requires any of these services or attention regarding a health care concern, it is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to contact the Middle Canyon Elementary Office at 435-833-1906. The school will provide you with the appropriate paperwork so that your student’s health concerns can be addressed at school.
