If parent/guardian/emergency contacts cannot be reached, school personnel will immediately call 911 and request emergency health personnel to arrange for transporting the student to an emergency facility.
If medication is to be taken at school, a completed Permission for Medication Form must be on file in the Health Office before it can be given. This includes all prescription medications, as well as over-the-counter and herbal remedies. All medications MUST be kept in the Health Office. Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis with approval only, please contact the school nurse for more information.
Occasionally, your child may need sunscreen during a school day. For those occasions, we must have written parental permission for your child to use sunscreen. I give my child permission to use the sunscreen I have provided for them when it is needed during school activities
