In the event of illness or injury during school hours, each
student must have on record a current Emergency Notification
Card that lists emergency contacts. Parents must notify
the school of contact information changes as they occur.
Prior
to dismissal, the school will call the parent/guardian or
others on the contact on the Emergency Notification Card
to determine who will pick up the student to ensure proper
chain of custody. The student must be picked up promptly.
Do not send to school a student who has a fever. The student
should be free of fever for 24 hours before returning to
school.

Medical - General
The
school nurse is available most days from 10:00AM – 1:00PM.
The nurse may provide students with basic and temporary
first aid.
Parents
must provide the school nurse with updates to relevant and
notable medical conditions. The nurse then updates the student’s
medical file.

Medical Emergencies
In emergency situations, the contacts on the Emergency Notification
Card are called first. If necessary, the student will be
transported by professionals to an emergency medical facility
for care.
There is now a defibrillator in the school and in the church.
All teachers and administrative staff have been trained
on the usage of the defibrillator

Administering
Medication
Only
the school nurse, authorized to do so in writing by a doctor,
may administer oral medication. The authorization form must
be on file in the nurse’s office. The medication must be
in the original manufacturer or pharmacy container, and
it must be properly identifiable with contents, dosage,
and student name.
If the parent provides written permission, a child requiring
Benadryl (or similar) may self-administer in the absence
of the nurse.
Only the nurse or EMT can administer an epi-pen (or similar).

systems may call the school nurse regarding confirmed
illnesses within the student body, for example, Fifths
Disease, Chicken Pox, Mumps, and so on. Please call
the nurse from 10:00AM – 1:00PM.
