Nurse
Health Services/Medication
A school nurse is located in room 113 in building 816. Students desiring to see the nurse must have a pass from their assigned teacher. Sponsors should keep students who are ill at home. Please do not send ill students to school, as the parent will be
contacted first at the duty telephone, then at the home telephone, then the emergency contact number. Because of inherent dangers associated with ill students who are dismissed to go home, it is required that sponsors or authorized adults sign-out ill
students to ensure safest arrival home. The school nurse will contact sponsors as the nature and severity of a student’s illness warrants.
Illness/Injury
Students who become ill or are injured during the school day are to report to the school nurse who will administer the necessary treatment and/or contact the parents to take the student home or to the hospital. If injured or ill, students are not to go
home without seeing the school nurse or the administration first. The student use of medication during the school day form is in the Appendix.
Parents are asked to positively assist our health program by:
Ø Keeping ill youngsters at home.
Ø Ensuring current telephone numbers are on file at school.
Ø Letting the school know of any health problems of your student. The school nurse can be contacted at Lx 75557.
Ø Scheduling students for medical appointments during non-instructional time (i.e. lunch break, after school).
Immunizations
Immunization screening is a CONDITION OF ATTENDANCE at all Department of Defense Dependent Schools. A DS Form 121 (Certificate of Immunization) obtained at the hospital Immunization Clinic will be submitted at registration, and kept on file with school records. Waivers may be accepted only in cases of medical or religious documentation. Students will not be permitted to attend school unless their immunizations are current. (See Appendix)
Physical Examinations
Students must have a physical examination before participating in school-sponsored athletic events. The physical may be obtained at the hospital and must be accomplished prior to the beginning of the athletic activity. The Athletic Physical forms are available in the main office.
