CLINIC INFORMATION
The school provides limited emergency first-aid to students who become ill or suffer injuries at school. The parent/guardian will be called, and the student will be sent home if he/she is too sick to remain at school. No student is to remain at school, if he/she shows evidence of an acute illness, a temperature of > 100 F, or vomiting or diarrhea.
The school should be provided with current home, business, and emergency telephone numbers so that parents/guardian may be contacted if necessary. If numbers should change during the school year, please contact the school office.

Health Management Plans
The parent/guardian will need to complete a health management plan for students with medical conditions that may require assistance and/or monitoring during school hours (i.e. asthma, severe allergies, diabetes, etc.). Please contact Ms. Baltimore for all health management plans.
Medications
Administration of prescription and over-the-counter medications during school hours is discouraged. Medications prescribed three times daily often can be given before school, after school, and at bedtime. However, if administration of the medication is required, the parent must complete the Administration of Medication Request Form. Students may not have prescription and/or over -the-counter medications in their possession. ALL medications must be kept in the clinic.
IMPORTANT:
-
- Prescription medication must be in the original prescription container.
- Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container.
- All medications not picked by the end of the school year will be discarded.
After receiving written permission, a staff member may assist the student in taking medications. However, in no event will any representative of the school assure a parent/guardian that anything more than a reasonable effort will be made to assist the student. Neither the school, nor its staff can guarantee that any student will take a particular medication correctly. If there is a medical situation that could be potentially dangerous, please notify the principal’s office immediately.*** This is a statement from the current Shiloh page
