  • Parents that have a child with any medical concerns, physical handicaps, asthma, diabetes, heart or seizure disorder, food or bee sting allergy, etc. need to meet with the school nurse to discuss your child’s health needs.  It is important that you fill out the required papers so we can assist your child with any medical needs that may arise during the school year.
  • Please encourage your child to eat breakfast at home or school everyday.
  • For the safety of everyone please do not send your child to school if they are sick.
  • A fever is 100 degrees or higher and students need to be fever free 24 hours before returning to school.

Medication Administration Reminder

  • If your child is on medication please request a separate bottle from the pharmacy for the school clinic.  All medicine must be in the original container.

  • Please do not send medication to school by the child.  A parent or guardian needs to bring the medicine to school.

  • A physician’s authorization is required for all prescription medication. 

  • A parent or guardian signature is required before medication will be administered.

  • Medicine must be picked up at the end of the school year; any medicine not picked up will be discarded.

  • The Authorization to Administer Medication form is only good for one school year.

  • Any changes in medication dosage must have a physicians order.  Each medication requires its own medication form.

  • Non-prescription medication will be administered as instructed on the box, unless accompanied with a physicians order instructing to do differently.

  • Acetaminophen (middle and high only) and emergency use Antihistamine (all schools) are available in the school clinic providing there is written parent permission on file.
