HEALTH SERVICES
The Health Room technician provides emergency treatment of accidents and
illnesses, administers medications and performs selected treatments under the
supervision of a school community health nurse (a licensed Registered Nurse).
When it is necessary to administer either prescription, over-the-counter, or
alternative medications to students during the school day, a completed
“Medication Authorization Form” signed by a licensed health care prescriber
and a parent/guardian is required.
Unless they are in need of emergency services, students must obtain a pass for
the Health Room. Students who need to leave school early due to illness will be
dismissed after a parent/guardian has been contacted by the Health Room
technician or nurse and permission has been given for an early dismissal.
Before leaving school, a parent/guardian must check the student out through the
Attendance Office.
A parent/guardian may call the Health Room directly on (240) 236-7337 or on
(240) 236-7200, prompt 4.
