Illness
If a student becomes ill at school and needs to go home, the student must report to the clinic. The nurse will evaluate the student and make the necessary phone call(s). Students are not allowed to use their cell phones to call home. Students must remain in the clinic for pick-up by parent/guardian or person on student’s contact list. Students are not allowed to meet the person picking them up at their vehicle. If a student has driven to school, telephone parental permission must be obtained by the nurse before allowing the student to leave school. If the nurse determines that the student is not physically able to drive, the parent will be required to pick up student.

Emergency Contact Cards
It is very important that each student have a current Emergency Contact Card on file in the clinic. We all hope that no emergency occurs. However, if your student is involved in an emergency, it is vitally important that all contact information is up to date. Please fill out the cards completely and return them to the clinic as soon as possible. If any information changes during the school year, please contact the clinic so the changes can be documented.

Oral Medication
Whenever possible, medication should be taken at home. However, the clinic understands there are times when medication must be taken at school. Students are not allowed to keep oral medication with them. All oral medication, whether it is prescription or over the counter, must be kept in the clinic and administered by the nurse. The medication must be in its original container with the student’s name on the medication container. The written permission form, which can be obtained in the clinic, must be filled out and signed by the parent/guardian before medication can be administered. Any medication not in its original container will be confiscated and kept in the clinic until student’s parent/guardian can pick it up. The nurse can only administer medication according to the directions on the container. If the student takes more medication than directions state, a physician’s order must be obtained and given to the nurse. All prescription medication must be in its original container with the student’s name, medication, dosage, time of medication dispensing, and doctor’s name.

Epipens/Asthma Inhalers
Epipens and asthma inhalers may be carried with students for self-administration if the physician’s permission form, which can be obtained by accessing the link to the left, is completely filled out and returned to the clinic.
