QUESTIONS?
HERE ARE THE ANSWERS! | What information is needed in my child's health record?
When a student comes to Hampshire Regional High School a health record is sent from his previous school. This includes immunizations, physicals, and any other health info that will help us provide for the student?s health needs.
What if my student is on medication?
Medication may be taken in public schools under these Department of Public Health requirements: a. all medication requires a physician form and a parent permission form. B. medication should be in the original pharmacy container. No other medication should be placed in the container except that which is written on the label. C. Epipen and Inhalers should be kept with the student at all times. Please contact the school nurse if your child is on either of these meds so we can notify the appropriate staff with your permission. When the nurse is notified of your child?s allergies an allergy action plan will be put in place. Thirty-six staff members have been trained in Epipen administration. As with all medications, a physician?s order is required.
What type of screenings does the nurse provide?
Hearing and vision screening is provided for all 8th and 10th graders. Scoliosis screening is provided for all 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. A parent or guardian is notified if a referral is needed.
What happens if my child is injured during the school day?
First aide is provide for any injured student. A parent is notified for any follow up care. Please remember to fill out the Emergency form in September.
Is there any other communication needed with the school nurse?
As always, communication is the key to helping us with your student?s health needs. We hope that your student?s years at Hampshire Regional are happy and healthy ones. Please call if there are any questions or concerns that you have?
What information is needed to help the school nurse care for my student?
