•         If the nurse determines that a child is ill and needs to go home, a parent will be called.

•         The child will be kept at school until picked up by a parent or someone indicated by the parent.

•         If a child needs to take prescription medicineduring school hours, the parent must send a signed note to school with a description of the medication, the dosage and the time to be given by the nurse.

•         The nurse may administer aspirin or an aspiring substitute after contacting the parents by telephone.

•         The nurse conducts distance vision testing during the year for children in kindergarten, first and third grades, and for new students in the second and fourth grades.

•         If a problem is identified, parents will be notified and urged to have the child examined by a professional.

•         In October, all children in first, third, and fifth grades are given a hearing screening.  New children in second and fourth grades are also tested.
