School Nurse:

Cory has a school nurse one day a week.  There is a health paraprofessional present everyday at lunch time. The clinic is located next to the main office.  The office staff will take care of sick and injured students the rest of the time.  Our health staff is responsible for the maintenance of

health records, routine health checks, parental contact concerning health problems, care of minor injuries, and assistance in health teaching and vision screening.  Please be sure to contact the nurse if your child has any unusual health problems.  Please call the school nurse if

your child is absent from school due to a communicable disease.  Precautions may need to be taken to protect other children.

Medications:

If a student needs to take medications at school, the following requirements must be met:

The medication must be a prescription:

1.  The medication must be in the original container.

2.  Clearly identified as to the name and type of medication.

3.  Must carry a prescription label with the child's name, drug identification, dosage instructions, doctor's name, and current prescription date.

4.  A "Permission to Take Medication" form must be signed by the parent/guradian for all medications, including Tylenol.

5.  The nurse or office staff will administer medications.

Due to liability factors, over the counter medications, including cough medicine, cough drops, and aspirin, cannot be administered at school.
