The School Nurse is not a medical diagnostician. Minor first aid can be provided in the Nurse's Office. For emergencies at the school, call 911. 4. The nurse will not allow students who are ill to leave school nor will they be allowed to depart until a parent or emergency contact person has been contacted. The nurse will telephone sponsors to pick up students who are ill.
Parents are responsible for dispensing medication.
However, if it is imperative that medication is dispensed during school hours, a Hold Harmless Letter must be signed by both the physician and a parent. The medicine should be in a pharmacy-labeled bottle marked with the student's name, the name of the drug, the amount to be taken, and the time the medication needs to be administered. Substance abuse is unacceptable at Kubasaki High School. The School Nurse is to be informed of the result of the examination. The nurse does not excuse a student from a physical education class.
