What do health room staff do?

So much more than “ice, lice, and band-aids!”

We work to manage complex, chronic medical conditions, promote healthy behaviors, and reduce health disparities. This may include:

• Immediate and temporary care of students who become ill or injured
• Medication administration
• Medical procedures (clean intermittent catheterization, G-tube feeding)
• Health referrals
• Hearing and vision screening
• Management of health and immunization records

Please contact the school health room staff when:

• A communicable disease/concern occurs
• A change occurs in your child’s health or when a medication must be taken at school
• Your child’s attendance starts to change
• You want information about health care services in the community
• You need assistance obtaining dental or vision care for your child
• You need assistance obtaining a referral to a health care provider
• A health problem might be a community health issue
