Health Services is supervised by a certificated school nurse and is open to students and staff between the hours of 7:45 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. daily.  The office provides general health care services and counseling, including emergency first aid, health assessment, vision and hearing screening, health record compliance, blood pressure monitoring, elevator keys and physical education (PE) medical excuses.         

Except in the case of an emergency or obvious illness, a student must have a timed pass from his current period teacher before coming to Health Services.  However, students may stop in quickly during passing period for a bandage, ice pack, medication, etc.  As a general rule students may not rest in the Health Office for a full academic period. If a brief rest will help a student stay in school, a rest may be allowed, but only if the student has a pass from the current class teacher and is not missing a quiz, test or presentation. Any student who is ill must come to Health Services to be excused before going home.

A student with a special health need (e.g. asthma, diabetes, migraines, seizure disorders, severe allergic reactions, perceptual defects, personal problems or daily medications) should be known to Health Services prior to the student entering school. To provide for safe daily care and emergency procedures, such health information gathered from the family and health records will be sensitively shared with faculty and staff members with whom the student has contact. 

If a student requires any prescription or nonprescription medication, including Tylenol or ibuprofen, during the school day, a Medication Authorization Form must be completed by a physician and parent or guardian.  This form must be completed annually.

Each student entering high school must have a current physical examination with certification of required immunizations.  Students may not attend school until all registration information is obtained.
