Information for uninsured students
Health Office
The Health Aide assists students who become ill or injured during the school day. The Health Aide will contact a parent/guardian if it is necessary for the student to go home. The Health Aide will then issue the student a “Permit to Leave” for illness reasons and update the student’s attendance.
All students that visit the Heath Office must have a hall pass from their teacher or a summons pass and sign-in on the office computer before coming to the Health Office. Students are to stay in the Health Office for a maximum of 15 minutes before determining if the student needs to go home or back to class.
The Health Office does not dispense any medication to students without a current Medication Authorization Form on file. The form must be completed by both guardian and physician and submitted to the Health Aide for review. Students may carry and self-medicate medications if an annual Medication Authorization Form has been submitted to the Health Office.
Athletic Clearance
Prior to participating in sports activities (e.g., conditioning, practices, contests), student athletes must complete their medical clearance through the Health Office. Please see the Athletics section for details.
