For student's who have chronic health conditions (such as diabetes, seizures, allergies, asthma, etc)  please ask the nurse for an action plan to fill out. That way we know how to treat/help your student here at school. For student's who need to have extra supplies at school we encourage parents/guardians to bring them to the health office in a labeled tote. We will gladly keep them here all school year!

All students must have written proof of all required immunizations, or a valid exemption, in order to attend the first day of school. Arizona law allows exemptions for medical reasons, laboratory evidence of immunity and personal beliefs. When initially enrolling your child please bring an updated copy of his/her immunization record to the Health Center. If you get vaccinations for your child at any time, please bring in a current copy or email the nurse. If you receive a note or message of "Inadequate Immunizations" for your child, please complete these by the date indicated. Failure to complete this in a timely matter is a violation of the law and your child may be excluded from attending school until you comply with the law.

If you would like your child to receive any medication while at school, a parent/guardian must bring the medication to the Health Center and sign a form that will allow the nurse to give it. This applies to over the counter medications as well (ex: Tylenol, ibuprofen, Midol). 

-Medication for your student can be kept in the Health Office all school year.

-All prescription medication must have the prescription medication form filled out by the prescribing doctor.

-Student’s may NOT have any medications (including over the counter) on their person while on campus. 

-For student’s who need to carry EpiPen’s, inhalers, insulin, etc on them, a parent must fill out a Self Carry form in the health office each school year. 

-We can’t give ANY medication to students without a parent / guardian bringing it into the Health Center.

Hearing and vision screening are done for all freshman students, all new (to district) students, and all students who receive services through the special education department. Parents and teachers can request a screening for any student at any time when concern arises. Vision referral letters are sent home to notify parents if the students have difficulties with any portion of the vision screening. Students who have difficulty with an initial hearing screening will be tested again in 30 - 45 days. If the student is  still having difficulty hearing all the tones, the student will be referred to the school audiologist. Parents will be notified with a referral letter.

• First-aid and medical care provided by the school nurse is primarily for illnesses or injuries that occur at school during the school day.
• The Health Center is not a primary care facility like a doctor's office. The nurse does not make medical diagnoses, prescribe treatments or medications, but can provide treatments and medications as prescribed by a physician with a doctor's order.
• The nurse is qualified to collaborate with you and your child's physician to provide an educational environment in which your child can learn and thrive. 
• Please tell your child if they are not feeling well at school to ask to see the nurse for evaluation.
• Injuries sustained on campus are evaluated by the nurse with the appropriate authorities notified-administration, EMS if needed.
• If your student needs to be excused from PE or requires an elevator key, we do require a doctors note. 
• The nurse will always attempt to contact a parent to notify them of the injury.  Please make sure that your mailbox is not full if a message must be left.
