Managing Ongoing Health Needs at School

Health Management 

Parent/guardian are responsible for notifying the school/school nurse of student health or medical conditions. The school must receive orders from a medical provider to provide any medical treatment or medication(s) during the school day. School health staff are only permitted to follow orders provided by a medical provider. When the order is received, the school nurse, in collaboration with the parent/guardian, will develop a plan of care addressing the student's health/medical needs during the school day or school-sponsored activity. The school nurse will distribute the student's care plan to the staff members working with the student. Along with the care plan, the individual staff members will also receive additional training, as appropriate, from the school nurse on managing the student's medical condition (I.e., diabetes, seizure management, and emergency medication administration).
