Special Medical Needs
If your child needs to have medication administered at school please PRINT and fill out the Physician Instructions form. This must be filled out by Dr. and have a parent signature on the back. We can not administer or house any medication without drs and parents signatures. Parents must bring sign in medication with Health Tech.
If your student requires any type of medical assistance from Health Tech please provide Drs orders and contact the Health office.
During school hours if your student requires medication, parents may come to administer meds, but it must be in the original container and shown to Health Tech.
If your student has a fever, diarrhea or has been vomiting he/she must be free of fever, diarrhea or vomiting for a full 24 hours with no medication
If your child requires a health plan or 504 Plan, these must be submitted in writing prior to your child's start date. If you have any questions about medical care or procedures at school, please contact the district nurse.
PREVENTING THE FLU
Here are a few things you can do to help prevent the spread of flu:
- Teach your children to wash their hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub. You can set a good example by doing this yourself.
- Teach your children not to share personal items like drinks, food, or unwashed utensils.
- Teach your children to cover their coughs and sneezes with tissues, or using the elbow, arm, or sleeve instead of the hand when a tissue is not available.
- Know the signs and symptoms of the flu. Symptoms of the flu include fever (100 degrees fahrenheit, 37.8 degrees Celsius or greater), cough, sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headaches, and feeling very tired. Keeping children with a fever at home will reduce the number of people who may get infected.
- Do not send children to school if they are sick. Any children who are determined to be sick while at school will be sent home.
