Health Emergencies

Each student must have a certificate of immunization or exemption certificate on file in the office. If proof of immunizations or exemption is not present on file, a provisional certificate may be issued, and the student has a 60 day period to obtain required immunizations. If failure to obtain immunizations in the 60 day period, will result in students not being able to attend school until the requirement fulfilled. Students who become ill or are injured at school should report to their teacher or main office. When appropriate or necessary, students will be given first aid or arrangements will be made to seek further assistance. The Board assumes no responsibility for the medical treatment of students. Injuries deemed to be of a serious nature would result in the parents being contacted as soon as possible. The person in charge will fill out an accident report form at the time the injury occurred. 

If a student must take prescribed medication during school hours, written authorization and instructions must be provided by the parents or guardians of the student and all medications must be left at the main office for disbursement to the student.
