Clinic Information
The Clinic is located next door to the School Counseling Department and adjacent to the Attendance Office. During the school year, a registered nurse is on duty form 8:00am to 3:00pm daily.
The nurse is available to students who become ill or are injured while at school. In no way is the school nurse a substitute for a student's medical doctor.
If a student becomes ill or injured during school, she/he is to come to the clinic unless physically unable to do so. If too ill to attend class, arrangements are made from the clinic student to go home. The purpose of the clinic is to maintain student's health and to minimize class absences. The school clinic is not intended to be an infirmary.
According to school policy, no student may cary medication on his/her person while at school with the exceptions of allergy reaction kits or asthma inhalers. A 'Request for Self-Administration of Medicine' form must be signed by a parent/guardian and on file in the Clinic. Prescription or over-the-counter medications can be administered by the eh nurse when a 'Request for Medication Administration' form is completed by a parent / guardian and the medication and form are turned in to the Clinic. All medication administered to students are to be provided by the student's family, and in the original container. No Medication will be administered without written authorization.
Topical antiseptic, antibiotic ointment, and antihistamine lotion are supplied by the school. These are for first aide treatment of injuries that occur at school.
Please contact the nurse if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s health care needs.
