Student Health Services

Services to students, faculty, and staff include, but are not limited to: first aid, administration of medications, screenings (vision/hearing and scoliosis), counseling, communicable disease control, and maintenance of school health records.

There is a school nurse on duty most of the hours that school is in session. It is important that an up-to-date Emergency Information card is on file with the nurse so she can reach a parent by phone if the student becomes ill or injured.

Influenza Reminders:

1.    Keep your child home if they have symptoms of the flu. That means a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or greater, with cough and/or a sore throat.  You should check your child for these symptoms each morning before sending them to school. Students who have these symptoms at school will be sent home.  Other symptoms that may occur with flu include runny nose, headache, body aches, vomiting and diarrhea (in addition to fever and cough or sore throat).    

2.    Sick children should stay home for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone without use of fever-reducing drugs like Tylenol or Motrin. Usually that means staying home for five to seven days. Children should not come back to school if they are not well enough to participate in school activities, even if their fever has been gone for 24 hours. Children staying home with flu symptoms should also avoid contact with others except to get medical care.  This includes staying away from after-school and other activities.  Do not use aspirin or aspirin-containing products when your child has influenza symptoms.
