health service personnel and the school administration comply with federal,

persons and trained community volunteers can assist in the school
health program.
Conferences are held to interpret medical information and to identify the
student's health needs, educational implications and needed adjustments in the
school environment.
Students requiring assistive devices (i.e. crutches, casts, wheelchairs, etc.) should contact the school before returning to school so that the necessary arrangements and notations can be made.

Required Student Health
Forms: Every
parent/guardian is required to fill out a Student Health Inventory form for each child at
registration. Any physical disability, including allergies, that might interfere
with a student's learning should be made known to the teacher so that proper
consideration should be given to the problem. Administration and faculty members
should be notified if a child has any serious medical or emotional
problem.
Asthma Management: Students with asthma need proper
support at school to keep their asthma under control and be fully active. Please
take the time to complete the Asthma Worksheet as it pertains to your child. The
information you provide us will be kept confidential and on file in the Health
Services Department.
Communicable Diseases: "Any child who is
suspected of having a communicable disease, or who develops a fever or other
signs and symptoms which include but are not limited to, any of the following:
diarrhea, rash, pink eye, or skin infection shall be placed in the isolation
area (clinic). The condition shall be reported to the parent, and the child
shall be removed from the facility as soon as possible. Such children shall not
return to the facility until the signs and symptoms are no longer present."
