School Clinic
Our school clinic prioritizes the health of our students:
Schedules students for physician assessments.
Gives prescribed medicine to students with a medication administration form (MAF) on file.
Provides prescribed nursing services to students with a medically prescribed treatment
(non-medication) form on file.
Monitors students with chronic health problems, and informs parents if health problems are getting worse.
Teaches classes on asthma management (Open Airways) and diabetes prevention (HOP).
Runs programs like Connecting Adolescents to Comprehensive Health (CATCH) and Screening the At-Risk Student (STARS).
If your child has a health condition, they may benefit from taking prescribed medicine at school or receiving a skilled nursing treatment.
All students with a diagnosis such as asthma, allergies or diabetes should submit a Medication Administration Form to their school.
Submitting a Medication Administration Form enables the school nurse to treat your child in the case of a medical emergency.
Even if your child can take his/her own medicine, it is important for the school clinical team to be aware of the student’s medical needs in case of an emergency.
Medication Administration Forms are accepted on a rolling basis. You must submit a new Medication Administration Form each school year.
