Health Services

Healthy students are successful students

Our school staff provide a variety of services that support a healthy learning community. We are committed to providing students with health conditions access to their education by facilitating their independence and creating a community of support by working collaboratively with the student, their family and district staff. School nurses promote optimal student health for optimal learning. 

Establish healthy habits early to ensure your child’s success

Instilling healthy habits and routines (adequate sleep/nutrition) and consistent attendance ensures a student’s success in school even as early as kindergarten. We know that too many absences/tardies, for whatever reason, can cause children to fall behind both academically and socially.

To help ensure healthy habits consult with your health care provider regarding well-visits and immunizations, as well as maintain good hygiene.

Student Information

The health office is located in the general office area. The nurse’s office hours are 7:20 a.m.- 3:20 p.m. The school nurse is available to coordinate and provide care for our students.

  • Student must have a pass from their teacher before reporting to the health office, unless it is an emergency. If a student wants to come to the health office between classes, he/she must obtain a pass from the teacher of the next hour’s class.
  • Students may not leave school or arrange for their own ride home without first reporting to the nurse. The school nurse will assess the illness and call if necessary.
  • Prescription medication brought to school must be turned into the health office upon school arrival. District policy states the following rules regarding prescription medication administration at school.
  • Medication Authorization for all prescription medications must be on file in the health office giving the school nurse permission to give the medication
    • Prescription medication must be in a pharmacy labeled bottle
    • Medication given longer than two weeks needs a medical authorization
    • Narcotic medications are not allowed to be used during the school day
    • Non-prescription medication can be self-administered by 7th and 8th grade students if the emergency card is signed by a parent/guardian and the student abides by the district’s policy.
*Please note that the nurse does not administer any prescribed medications without a written order from the prescriber.  
*Prescribed, controlled medication is expected to be dropped off by the parent/guardian of the student.  Students will not be allowed to bring the medications to school.  The nurse will count the medication with the parent/guardian present.  
*Medication brought to school in a baggie will not be accepted.  It must come in the original bottle with the prescription on it.
*If your student takes a prescribed medication and forgets to take it at home, it is your responsibility to come to school and administer it directly to your child yourself.  Please do not expect the nurse to administer it.
