Health Services:
School
health services are provided to assist parents and teachers in promoting the
health of students, enabling them to function at the maximum of their
capabilities. As a Registered Nurse, I promote the health of students by
providing emergency care and first aid, vision, hearing, and scoliosis
screening, communicable disease control, counseling on individual health
problems, and health education. I am also a health resource for our school
parents and faculty. Our school clinic ministers to the needs of our chronically
ill students and functions as a first-aid station.
We make
every effort to control the spread of communicable (contagious) disease at
school. Parents should notify the school by phone if their child is ill,
especially if the child has a communicable condition (chicken pox, mumps,
measles, infectious hepatitis, herpes, impetigo, scabies, lice, strep throat,
etc.)
Parents should keep students home if they have a fever ( 100.4 degrees or over),
diarrhea, vomiting, red draining eyes, draining ear, or undiagnosed rash.
To return to school, the student needs to be
symptom and fever free for 24 hours.
If a student is injured or ill, every effort will
be made to contact the parent. The parent will make arrangements for the student
to be taken home or to a physician. Be sure to notify the school of changes in
home or work telephone numbers and emergency contact numbers so that we may
protect your children in case of an emergency.
