Our school health room staff are trained in basic first aid and medication administration.
If an incident or injury is severe, a medical emergency response team (consisting of staff trained in CPR, first aid and administration of emergency medication such as inhalers or Epipens) will respond and 911 will be called if needed. There are bleeding control stations and an AED in each school.
Certain health problems can be a barrier to optimal learning. In order to identify some of the more frequently occurring problems, our school district conducts the following screenings:
IF ... | THEN | NEXT |
---|---|---|
… you have any of these symptoms:
|
Stay home at least 24 hours. |
You can return when symptoms improve and you are fever-free for 24 hours.* If symptoms don't improve after two days, Covid testing is recommended. Remain home until you get the results; if they are negative, you can return when symptoms have improved and you are fever-free for 24 hours.* |
… you experience a loss of taste or smell. | Stay home and contact your school office. | Covid testing is recommended. |
… you test positive for Covid. | Isolate: Stay home for 5 days from symptom onset and contact your school office. | Return when well (fever-free for 24 hours* and no productive or constant cough). |
Asthma, seizures, diabetes, severe allergies, insect sting allergies, or any other health issue should be discussed with your school nurse.
