First Aid and Emergency Care

The purpose of school nursing is to enhance the educational process. Each school nurse works to improve health problems and promote wellness. First aid and emergency care are given at school. School nurses evaluate parental concerns but are unable to make a medical diagnosis or do medical tests (X-rays, throat cultures). We urge you to see your primary health care or dental provider for injuries or illnesses. If you do not have a primary physician, dentist, or clinic, please contact your school nurse who will assist you in finding a doctor, dentist, or clinic.

If a student is sent home by the nurse, parents are required to provide transportation. Students must be accompanied by an adult prior to leaving the school building. Parents may be advised to consult with their family physician, clinic or local hospital emergency room.
