Health Office Policy

The Health Office is located across from the Attendance Office in the main building. It is staffed daily from 7:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. by a Health Clerk. The Health Office cares for all emergencies and illnesses of students. The staff does not diagnose as to type or extent of injury or illness but suggests a student and parent consult their family doctor.

Parent permission, or others designated by the parents is obtained by telephone before students may leave campus. It is vital, therefore, that all changes of home or work telephone numbers be provided to the school as soon as possible.

Students returning to school after injuries which necessitate crutches must have a doctor’s note to attend school on crutches. Students returning to school after being diagnosed with a contagious medical condition must have a doctor’s release. All doctors’ notes are processed through the Health Office.

Students taking medication any time during the 24-hour period should inform the Health Office as to the medication and diagnosis requiring administration. All medications to be taken during school hours are to be kept in the Health Office and the student is required to have a signed medication release form on file. These forms may be obtained from the Health Office.
