The school maintains a clinic for students. When students become ill or injured during the day, they should report it immediately to the teacher and request a pass to the clinic. Clinic workers will contact parents as situations require. For this reason, it is imperative that parents complete a Clinic Card at the beginning of school that includes emergency phone numbers. Clinic workers supervise the administration of medications, take temperatures, and administer emergency first aid when appropriate.

Prescription Medications
Parents must complete the Administration of Medication Request Form and return it to the school clinic. This form asks for a specific length of time the medication is to be taken and instructions including dosage and time of administration. Prescription medications must be in the original prescription container and must be housed in the clinic. If medications must be given over a long period of time, then the Administration Request Form must be updated yearly. Students may not have prescription medications in their possession or share these medications with others.

Over-the-counter Medications
Administering over-the-counter medications at school is discouraged. If a student must have a medication in order to attend school, the parent/guardian must furnish a written request for the school to supervise administration of the medication. This request must include the student's name, name of the medication, dose and time to be administered. Medication must be kept in the clinic in the original container. If the medication is to be administered for more than one day, a Medication Request Form must be completed. Students may not have over-the-counter medications in their possession and may not share medications of any kind with fellow students.


FEVER FREE
If a child has a fever at school of 100 degrees or more parents will be contacted. Students should be free of fever for 24 hours without having to take medication such as Tylenol before they return to school.

LIBRE DE FIEBRE
Si un niño tiene fiebre en la escuela de 100 grados o más se le contactara a los padres. Los estudiantes deben estar libre de fiebre por 24 horas sin tomar medicamentos, como Tylenol o cual quiere otro medicamento antes de que regrese a la escuela.
