Please keep the following in mind while your child attends SDOHS:
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.
An injury report will be submitted to the district to follow up on issues with the campus that need to be addressed.
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.
