School nurse

• The school nurse is available on a daily basis for assessment and counseling regarding health issues.
• It is important that students come during non-academic times, except in an emergency.
• Students are required to have a pass from the teacher of the period in which they are visiting the nurse.
• Students who become ill during the school day must see the nurse for dismissal. The nurse will make arrangements with a parent or emergency contact, and a dismissal pass will be issued. The pass then needs to be stamped by the SAO Office before the student leaves school.
• All accidents occurring at school must be reported to the teacher and the nurse before leaving school.

The nurse's office is open Monday - Friday 7:30-1:30, 2:05-2:50, and by appointment.
The nurse practitioner is onsite Monday and Tuesday 7:30 - 2:30, and Thursday 7:30 - 1:30

Medications at school

• All medication, prescription and non-prescription alike, must be kept in the Student Health Center.Written permission from the doctor and a parent/guardian is required for the nurse or her staff to administer medications. (Click here to print out a medication permission form.) Medications must be sent to school in the original bottle. For prescription medications, the prescription bottle may serve as a doctor's order. If a student is on long-term prescription medication that is to be administered by the Student Health Center staff, the prescribing doctor must complete a Permission to Administer Medication form.
