The purpose of this call is to notify a parent of their childs absence and also monitor communicable illnesses among the school population. Parents are asked to write a note explaining the reason for the absence. In the event of an accident or an unexpected medical event I will be providing first aid to the student and the necessary follow-up with parents. At the beginning of each school year parents are asked to fill out a Student Information Sheet notifying the school of emergency contact numbers and any medical conditions which may affect the student's educational program. This often involves communication with a teacher, a guidance counselor, a parent, a family physician, or Warren County Health Services.
Many visits involve health counseling and follow-up sessions with the individual student.
This involves reviewing each student's health record in our district and following-up with students who are not in compliance with the law. Warren County Health Services Division of Public Health assists the schools by providing free clinics in the Health Office two to three times per year. This year we have scheduled three Hepatitis B clinics for seniors and 7th graders.
