Illness and Health Office Visits

If your child becomes ill or is injured during school hours, the nurse will assess his/her condition and, if necessary, contact you. You may be asked to pick your child up. If you are not available, the nurse will attempt to reach one of your designated emergency contacts.

 

 

Please note that if your child is excused from physical education he/she will also be excused from sports. A clearance note from the physician will be required to return. 

 

• If, in the nurse's judgment, further care is required, the parent will be notified.
• If the parent cannot be reached, the nurse will reach out to emergency contacts. 
• Transportation to the home or the source of medical care is to be provided by the parents. No child will be permitted to go home without being accompanied by a responsible adult.
• In a serious emergency, the services of the local rescue squad will be utilized and the parents notified promptly.
