Health Office

The Health Office is available to students during school hours each day. Students who feel ill may go to the Health Office WITH A PASS. The staff member on duty will determine the appropriate course of action. The nurse works closely with parents, students,and school staff to provide a safe and healthy school environment which promotes student attendance and learning. Parents and guardians are welcome to call or visit the nurse in the health office to discuss their child's healthcare needs.

Medications
Students are not allowed to carry medications and self-administer during the school day. If medications are required at school (daily or short term), a "Physician's Recommendation for Medication" form is required.This form must be renewed yearly. All medications must be in an original pill container with current prescription label.

Over-The-Counter Medications
Certain over-the-counter medications are available to students who have a "Health Information Exchange Consent Form" completely filled out and on file in the health office. The nurse will assess the situation, thestudent's health history, and dispense medication according to protocol. This service is NOT available on days the nurse is not on campus.

Asthma & the use of Inhalers at School
Asthma can be a serious, life-threatening disease. Students who use inhalers as prescribed by their physicians should have an "Asthma Action Plan" and inhaler brought to school to be kept in the Health Office. Itis acceptable for older students to carry and self-administer their inhalers; however, ONLY with the written permission of both the physician and parent/guardian.
