Our school nurse is available in the health office throughout the
school week. To contact the office please call
341-5431. The
following are some of the features of the Health Program
carried out during the year:
l
First aid is given for
injuries, which occur in school, and parents are
notified. The school nurse may not diagnose or treat
illness but only administer first aid and offer advice
regarding health care.
l
Students must obtain a
pass from a teacher before going to the health office.
l
To be excused from physical
education classes a note from a parent/guardian must
be presented to the nurse. If this is for more than a
week, a doctor's note is also required for a student to
resume physical education activities.
l
No student is to carry
prescription or non-prescription medication to school. A
parent or guardian must bring all medication to the
nurse and see that the appropriate papers are completed
by the child's physician in order to receive medication
in school. According to New York State Education Law
every medication administered (including over the
counter and prescription medications) must have a
written order from a licensed physician and written
permission from the parent. The parent must also provide
the medication in the properly labeled original
container.
l
At the beginning of the
school year emergency information cards are sent home.
These cards provide the school with vital information in
the case of an emergency. It is important that the cards
be returned as soon as possible and that the information
be correct and current.
