STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES

The responsibility for the health of each child is primarily that of the parents. The school health services program will strive to protect and improve this health in cooperation with parents, making use of community resources, educational materials and a sound health program.

1. A school nurse will be in attendance at the school at various times.

2. Treatment for injuries occurring at school will be limited to first aid care, which can be provided by sufficiently trained school personnel (See also Policy EBBA-E)

3. All accidents occurring on school property are to be reported to the school nurse and/or the school principal immediately. Students attending school during the extended day, night, or summer school or any other time when the school nurse is not in the building are to report to the main office immediately in case of illness or accident.

4. An accident report must be filled out by the teacher on duty for any serious accident. When in doubt file a report. (See Policy EBBB).

5. The teacher has the responsibility of reporting any unusual health conditions to the school nurse and principal, including child abuse. (See Policy JIIG). Parents must be notified before a student who is ill is permitted to go home and the student must be accompanied by a responsible adult approved by the parent or guardian.

6. Students may be assisted with medication by school personnel when the conditions stated in Policy JHCD-E (Administration of Oral Medications) have been met. Assistance with medication shall be limited to medication which is medically necessary as determined by a physician and when no other appropriate, out of school, time schedule can be found.

Acetaminophin may be given to students at the Middle School and High School in accordance with the standing order issued by Rochester Pediatrics Association. Over-the-counter medication will not be given except when ordered by a physician.
