Clinic

Updated Clinic Guidelines
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve made a few changes in the clinic to better care for our students and keep them safe.

• Family Update Website:
  As the new school year begins, we want to remind you to visit the Family Update Website to update health and contact information. If your child has a medical condition, please complete the appropriate Healthcare Plan and return to the school. Click below to log in. Instructions on how to create an account are also on the site:

• ​​​​​​​Changes to Medication Administration:
  Due to safety reasons and to minimize the exposure to illnesses, only medications required during the school day will be given. All over- the- counter medications will require a doctor’s note.
• ​​​​​​​Asthma:
  During this pandemic, asthma treatments using an inhaler with a spacer/chamber are recommended over nebulizer treatments. Nebulizer treatments will not be given unless deemed an emergency and 911 will be called.

Is Your Student Too Sick for School?
When your student has a fever, keep them home. During the first days of illness when systems are most severe and the infection is most contagious, students should stay home. Students can return to school when symptoms are improving and no fever has been detected for 24 hours without taking any fever reducing medicine such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen, etc.
