The Health Center provides first aide and medical care primarily for illness or injuries that occur during the school day.  It is not a primary care facility like a doctor’s office.  The nurse is, however qualified to collaborate with you and your child’s physician to provide an educational environment in which your child can learn and thrive.  While the nurse does not make a medical diagnosis or prescribe medication or treatment, medication and treatment prescribed by a physician may be given in the health office.

Disease Prevention/Immunizations-

Parent and Emergency Contacts/Health History-
Parents are required to complete Emergency Contact and Health History Forms for each of their children every year.  These forms contain vital information should your child becomes ill or injured at school.  Students will be released to ONLY those persons indicated on the form.   Photo ID is required to pick up any child during the day at school.

Student Illness- 

Students should be coming to school feeling well with no signs of illness and ready to learn. If a student feels ill during the school day, they should report their complaint to the classroom teacher for referral to the nurse. Students are not to contact their parents directly via cell phone regarding illness unless prior arrangements have been made with the nurse. Please keep your child home if they have fever, diarrhea, vomiting, deep cough, or a potentially communicable disease.  Children with illness symptoms may need to stay home for longer periods and follow Maricopa County Public Health guidelines for isolation/quarantine. If your child has been diagnosed with contagious illness, please contact the Health Center Nurse, so parents of other students in the class can be notified.  Please call your child’s doctor for advice on an ill child. Do not send ill students to school to be evaluated by the nurse.
