Nurse's Nook

Clinic Procedures:

Except in the case of an emergency, students may visit the clinic only after obtaining a clinic pass from their teacher. Students need to come to the clinic if they feel ill. If they contact their parents to be picked up or make previous arrangements, the nurse cannot excuse their absence. Please be aware that if your child has multiple absences from school and is not showing signs of a communicable illness, their illness may not be excused by the nurse.

Medication Policy:

The clinic does not stock a supply of medications for students. No medication of any type is to be carried by a student, on school grounds. Any exception to this rule must be approved, documented in writing, and on file in the school clinic. Medication dispensed at school must be in a properly labeled container, with one medication per container, and must not be expired. 

Medications are not stored over the summer, and new forms for the medications must be turned in for each school year. Controlled medications must be picked up by parents, and cannot be sent home with students. For cough drops- they must be in their original container with a note granting permission for cough drops to be given with the student's full name, parent's full name and parent's signature. Natural and /homeopathic-like products not FDA approved cannot be dispensed in school clinics by school personnel.
