Health Room and Wellness
The health room is staffed with a Red Cross trained employee during student hours. First aid is
provided by school personnel when injuries are minor. Rest, in a quiet place is made possible for children who report they are not feeling well. If the child is too sick to remain in school, the parent or designated emergency contact will be called and asked to come to school to take the student home. Students with a fever higher than 100 degrees, vomiting or diarrhea will be sent home and should not return until they are symptom free for 24 hours. Your cooperation will help to prevent the spread of illness and protect students and staff who may have compromised immune systems.
Severe Injury or Illness
Emergency medical services will be contacted in the event of a severe injury or illness of a student. Parents or the emergency contact will also be called simultaneously. Children will be transported to the nearest hospital unless otherwise indicated by the parent or guardian on the emergency contact form.
Medication Administration
Board policy prohibits us from administering any type of medication without written consent from a parent/guardian. If your child needs medication administered while at school, please contact the health room for the appropriate paperwork. This includes all over-the-counter medications. School Board Policy 5330 - Administration of Medication Emergency Care
Immunization Requirements
To protect students and children from diseases that are preventable by immunization, Wisconsin law requires all students to show that they have received the required immunizations or have a signed waiver.
