If a student needs to leave campus, the Health Office will contact an authorized parent, guardian, or emergency contact.
Health information and procedures
Medication at school
Prescription and over-the-counter medication used at school requires written authorization from a parent or guardian and the student’s physician. This includes headache medication.
Download the Parent and Physician Request for Medication form.
Before a student carries or self-administers any medication, contact the school nurse to confirm the required authorization and plan. Medication authorizations should be renewed each school year.
Injuries and medical equipment
Provide the Health Office with a copy of any physician’s note describing an injury, activity restriction, accommodation, or return-to-school direction. Students who need crutches, a wheelchair, or other medical equipment should check in with the Health Office so staff can review safe access and support needs.
Ongoing medical conditions and healthcare plans
Families should contact the school nurse about significant or ongoing health needs. When appropriate, the nurse may develop an Individualized Healthcare Plan containing the procedures and supports a student needs at school. Required authorizations and signatures must be renewed as directed.
Emergency contacts and authorized pickup
Families must complete Data Confirmation in Aeries each school year and keep telephone numbers, emergency contacts, and student health information current. Only authorized individuals listed in the student’s records may pick up the student.
Absences, appointments, and doctor’s notes
Routine absences and appointments are handled through the Attendance Office. Provide attendance documentation there; when a note also describes a health restriction or medical support needed at school, provide a copy to the Health Office as well.
