Health Management
Parents/guardians are responsible for informing the school or school nurse of any student’s health or medical conditions. Medical treatment or medication during the school day requires current orders from a licensed health care provider, which school health staff are required to follow.
Upon receipt of medical orders, the school nurse will:
- Develop an individualized plan of care
- Distribute the plan to appropriate school staff, which may include teachers, before‑ and after‑school staff, coaches, club advisors, and cafeteria monitors
- Provide additional training as needed, including emergency medication administration and management of chronic medical conditions
Students with Seizure Disorders
Students with Severe Allergies
Students with Respiratory Conditions
Please note, if a parent/guardian is requesting to deviate from the most recent orders received from the medical provider, new orders must be obtained from the medical provider before altering the established plan of care.
