Nurse’s office hours:  7:45 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

The Nurse eats “C Lunch”.

The nurse is always open for emergencies.

For Students:
If you become ill in school, you should get a pass from your teacher to go to the nurse who will decide what should be done.  Students may not leave the building or call their parents because of illness unless given permission by the nurse or office personnel.  If the nurse is not in, you should report to the office.

For Parents:
The spread of germs can cause others to get sick.  If your child is sick, please keep them at home until he/she is no longer contagious.

Medication Policy: 
The school nurse may administer medication during school hours upon written request from a parent/guardian.  All medication sent to school must be in its original container; this is the law.  Medication must be labeled with the student’s name, medication name, dosage, date of prescription, and doctor’s name.  Both prescription and nonprescription medication must be kept in the nurse’s office.  Students may not carry any medication on their person.  This includes Tylenol, Aspirin, inhalers, etc.  If it is necessary for a child to receive prescription medication in school and you do not want to send the medication back and forth daily, ask your pharmacist to label a second container so that one may be kept at school.  Most pharmacies are very understanding and cooperative.

Accidents: 
Every accident in the school building, on the school grounds, at practice sessions or at any athletic event sponsored by the school must be reported immediately to the person in charge and to the school nurse.

Emergency Cards: 
The nurse must have a signed emergency card on file to treat a student for any reason.  In an event of an emergency, your child can only be released to those adults listed on the emergency card.
