Please utilize the tabs on the right of this page to find information regarding planning for students with health conditions, immunizations, medications, and illness or injury procedures. Parents/guardians are requested to inform the school of any health problem and/or special health care procedures that needs to be performed at school. This will assist the school in developing a plan to best help the student meet his/her needs.
Important information regarding medications:
Medication to be administered to children in school must be accompanied by a Medication Request/Consent Form. These forms are available in the school office or as a printable document to the right.
-
Non-prescription medications require the parent's signature/consent
-
School personnel may administer topical relief such as antibiotic ointment, hydrocortisone cream, or burn relief ointment
-
Prescription medications require both the parent and physician's signature. This includes inhalers, EpiPens and glucagon.
-
When sending medication to school with your child, please send it in the original container labeled with your child's name.
-
Do not send loose pills in a plastic bag; we have no way to verify what they are unless they come in a labeled container.
Each year children in kindergarten and first grade are screened for possible hearing problems; and children in grades one, three, five, and seven are screened for possible vision problems. Parents are notified by phone and letter when a further examination is necessary.
Parents are urged to take care of minor injuries or illnesses which occur at home. Please make sure your children have a good breakfast and investigate their complaints if they are feeling ill.
If your child becomes ill at school, we will contact you. If we cannot reach you, we will use the emergency contact information you have provided. Please remember we cannot keep seriously ill children at school. It is the responsibility of parents to give us current phone numbers for emergency purposes.
