Medical Statement

All students must have an emergency card filled out by the parent and on file in the office. All children must have proper immunization as required by law. During the school year, the hearing and eyesight of all children will be tested. A health record is kept on each child.

There is a visiting nurse available to the children one day per week. If a child needs to see the nurse, please make a request through the office.

A health aide is on duty when the nurse is not at school. The health aide is responsible for following written directives from physicians for dispensing prescriptions, written directives from parents for dispensing non-prescription drugs, administering first aid, and assisting the school nurse as required. No medication may be taken by any child in the classroom. If a child needs medication, parents should send directions in writing. The medication must be taken to the school office and administered from there or the health room. Parents will be called if it is determined that the child is too ill to remain in school. No child will be sent home unless a parent or someone designated by the parent comes for the child.
