The clinic is open from 8am until 3:30pm. No medication is kept in the clinic except those that are specifically brought in for the student by their parent/guardian with the proper paperwork and kept in a locked cabinet. Students are allowed to visit the school nurse for assessment due to illness or injury; for treatment of minor illness and injury; for their medication; for medical questions/consultation and for certain procedures. School Health Information sheets are given to each student at the beginning of every school year. From this information the nurse is made aware of any condition that may warrant special attention, emergency contact numbers and other pertinent information. Certain diagnoses require an Individual Health Plan (see medication/health forms). These forms, which are filled out by the parent, supply information needed to properly care for the student. Such diagnoses include Diabetes, Seizures, Asthma, cardiac problems, allergies etc. Many procedures are done outside of the clinic. For this reason there are several times during the day that the nurse will not be in the clinic. In this case there are medication designees assigned to substitute in her absence.
