OUR SCHOOL NURSE
While caring for sick or injured students and staff, our school nurses also:
-
ensure vaccination and medical records are up-to-date
-
administer student medications
-
conduct vision and hearing screenings
-
and provide health education
Parents: if your student takes prescription medication, there must be a Medication Administration Form on file in the Nurse's Office. No students may carry any prescription medication except for an inhaler or EpiPen, the Medication Administration Form must also be on file for those.
The Nurse can give over-the-counter medications for minor illnesses (headache, upset stomach) if the OTC Medication Form is signed by a parent and on file in the office.
