Clinic Nurse : Leigh Ann Matzke
Clinic Phone : 259-3617
Clinic Services: The school nurse can assist students in seeking an optimal level of physical, mental and social well being and can explore ways to eliminate barriers which hinder student learning. The school nurse is available to any student who may need assistance during school hours and can serve as a liaison between the student, home, school and community. Students may utilize clinic services by first reporting to the classroom and receiving a hall pass to the clinic at the discretion of the teacher (guidelines for clinic use are available to all staff). Students may also schedule appointments with the nurse. Emergencies may report directly to the school clinic.
Medications: Medications must be ordered by a health care provider. All over-the-counter medications require a written order by a health care provider before it can be administered. Students may not carry any medications (neither prescription or over-the-counter) unless they have written permission from a health care provider. Parents/guardians must sign a Medication Consent Form that gives the school nurse permission to administer medication to their student during school hours. Secondary students may bring prescribed medication to school provided they give such to the school nurse on arrival. We attempt to discourage administration of medication during school hours and request, whenever possible, medication doses be scheduled other than school hours. We recognize that this is not possible and will cooperate in administration of medication that must be given during school hours with the above understanding.
Emergency Cards: Emergency cards must be filled out (front and back) for each student and returned to the Nurses's Office for use in emergency situations. Parents need to inform the school nurse and Attendance Office of changes in their address, or home and work phone numbers.
Communicable Diseases: Students returning to school after recovering from a communicable disease (such as pink eye, measles, chicken pox, etc) must be readmitted through the school Nurses's Office.
