Clinic

• Please review the reasons to keep your child home to help us maintain a healthy environment for all.

• The clinic can assist with student medical needs during the school day.
  ○ Students must have a teacher signed pass to go to the clinic.
  ○ The nurse can provide first aid and a place to recover when ill.

• If an ill student must go home, the nurse will call a parent or guardian.

• Students are required to have an updated Clinic Card on file.

For the safety of all students at our school, the following guidelines should be followed when requesting administration of medication at school:

• Only those medications required during school hours should be administered at school. Please check with your physician regarding the need for medication to be administered during school hours.
• All medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, must be accompanied by a completed Administration of Medication Request form and brought to the school clinic by an adult. Students may not transport medication to school.
• All medications must be in an original child-proof container. Prescription medications must be in their labeled prescription bottle. School staff will only administer medication according to the directions on the label.
• Any medications remaining at the end of the school year must be picked up or school staff will dispose of them.
• Students may only carry medication as prescribed by law with the required documentation. Please check with our school clinic worker if your child needs to carry emergency medication with them
