Emergency information is kept on file in the office. It is the responsibility of parents to provide the school with accurate and up-to-date information in case of an emergency. Parents are encouraged to give two emergency phone numbers. Parents will fill out an emergency early dismissal form during registration.
The school cannot treat old wounds or cuts, remove splinters, treat skin diseases such as impetigo, poison oak, or treat pink-eye or any other type of skin problem.
ADDRESS CHANGES, PHONE, ETC.
It is very important that the school have current addresses and phone numbers in order for parents to be contacted in a special needs situation. Please be sure to notify the school if there are any changes during the school year.
MEDICATIONS
Medication will not be dispensed to students. This includes, but is not limited to, aspirin, Tylenol, cough medicine, and antibiotics. An exception is when children require long-term prescription medications such as Ritalin. Only in this case will the medicine be administered by the school nurse in compliance with the following regulations:
A written permission form, signed by both the parent and the child's physician, is provided to the school and includes the child's name, medication name, time to be administered, dosage, and possible side effects.
The permission form must be updated when there is any change in dosage or time of medication. A new permission form must be provided to the school at the beginning of each school year.
Medication in the original prescription bottom must be brought to the school office by a parent or guardian and refilled in like manner. No medication is to be brought ot or from school by the student.
