Ms. Becker - Nurse

Student Health Services

The purpose of the clinic is to provide first aid to school related illnesses and injuries. It is not intended to take the place of parent or physician directed medical care. However, the school nurse will perform any treatments deemed necessary during the course of the school day. Dressing changes, breathing treatments,catheterizations are some procedures that can be easily done at school, allowing children with these needs to miss very little school in spite of their medical condition.

Often parents are confused as to the criteria the nurse uses in her decision to allow children to remain in school or be discharged home. The following guidelines may be helpful:

Children are sent home when the following occurs:

children with fevers 100 degrees or higher

Suspected Serious Injury

fractured bones

blow to head

Suspected Contagious Conditions

scarlet fever	lice
impetigo	chicken pox

Suspected Serious Illness

severe respiratory distress

vomiting

severe allergic reaction

Medications are kept at school for many students. A written permission form signed by the child's doctor and parent is required before any medication can be administered by the nurse. Parents are required to bring their child's medication to school. Children are not to transport their medication to school.
