Illness and Injury at School
At the time of enrollment, please notify the school if your child has a health condition or a physical condition that might pose a problem in any way or that might need special attention during the school day. Children are never diagnosed or treated for illness or injury, but are given first aide as permitted by law. If a child has a fever or displays other symptoms of illness, the parent or other person listed on the enrollment form as “emergency contact” will be notified. The child should then be picked up as soon as possible.
Medication
Over-the-counter medication cannot be administered by the school without a physician’s statement. Students who need to take prescribed medication must have the appropriate form signed by the physician and parent before the medication can be brought to school. The medication and form must be left in the office.
Health Clerk
A Health Clerk is on duty on a part-time basis. The Health Clerk is here to help in case of sickness or an accident. Health clerks do not diagnose illnesses.
