All medicine, prescription or over the counter, must come to school in the original container with directions for administration. I feel in fairness to those giving the medication and in safety to your child, this policy must be followed. We ask this not to make things difficult for you, but to insure the health and well-being of all students. This counseling line has a variety of services available. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays it is available 24 hours.
All calls are free and confidential.
There is a peer counseling line, staffed by trained peers, a crisis line affed by trained counselors and a toll free number for those not in the Des Moines area. This line is answered 24 hours a day and provides health information and referral service for Iowa teens and those who care about them. The youth working the lines are trained volunteers, ages 14-18 and are supervised by ISU counselors in case of crisis calls. The line is geared towards pregnancy prevention and can be a good resource for teens with questions. The line is open from 4-8 p.m., Monday thru Friday.
