I hereby give consent for my child to participate in the School Health Service Program and to receive nursing and emergency care at the school, if needed. Screening and evaluation for problems in the areas of vision, hearing, growth and development, nutrition, dental, scoliosis, communicable diseases, blood pressure, speech and language, or other non- invasive health screenings may be done as part of the program.
In the event of a serious accident or illness, I request that the school contact me. If I cannot be reached, I request designated school personnel to take or send my child to the hospital determined by Emergency Services personnel. I consent to be responsible for all expenses incurred. In case of an accident or illness where immediate medical treatment is not indicated, but where my child is unable to remain in school, I request the school contact me. If I cannot be reached, I request that one of the persons listed above be contacted to remove my child from school and to be responsible for his/her care. These persons listed have transportation and are immediately available to come to school.
The Florida Department of Health-Duval in conjunction with the Department of Education provides school health nursing services for Duval County Public Schools. I understand that all health-related information I provide to the school regarding my child will be shared between the two agencies as needed in the performance of their duties. I further understand that said information will be shared between agencies in compliance with state and federal laws governing student records and confidentiality requirements.
