Parents of students with communicable or contagious

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL
PLEASE DO NOT SEND MEDICATION OF
ANY KIND TO THE SCHOOL FOR YOUR STUDENT TO TAKE "ON
HIS OWN". A student who must take prescription (or
non-prescription) medicine during the school day
must bring a written request from his or her parent
and the medicine, in its properly labeled original
container, to the school nurse.
The nurse will give
the medicine at the proper times in the amounts
specified on the container or as per written
doctor’s orders. All
medication must be kept in the nurse's office. |

INSURANCE
|
Even with the
greatest precautions and the closest supervision,
accidents can and do happen at school. They are a
fact of life and a part of the growing-up process
our children go through. Parents need to be aware
of this and be prepared for possible medical
expenses that may arise should their child be
injured at school.
The school district does not provide medical
insurance to automatically pay for medical expenses
when students are injured at school. This is the
responsibility of the parents or legal guardians.
The District will make a low-cost student accident
insurance program available at the beginning of the
school year. Parents are responsible for paying
premiums (if coverage is desired) and for submitting
claims. The District will not be responsible for
costs of treating injuries or assume liability for
any other costs associated with an injury |
