Attention Parents:
-
While we may not contact parents regarding each visit to the clinic, there will be instances in which we will need to reach out to you. To facilitate this communication, please ensure that your contact information is kept current.
-
It is essential to inform the Healthcare professionals if your child develops any allergies or experiences any other medical changes during the academic year. A physician's note is required annually for all food and milk allergies, along with an appropriate treatment plan. Your child's healthcare provider may also recommend that an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) be kept on school premises.
Illnesses
-
To keep everyone safe and healthy, students who have vomited, diarrhea, or a fever over 100°F the night before or the morning of school cannot come to school that day. Students can come back once they are fever-free for at least 24 hours without using medicine like Tylenol or Advil. They should also be able to eat and drink without throwing up or having diarrhea for 24 hours without needing medication. If a student has a contagious illness and is taking medicine prescribed by a doctor, they can return to school after taking the medicine for at least 24 hours.
-
If a student has any injuries or has undergone recent surgery, a doctor's note is kindly requested to indicate when it is safe for them to participate in physical activities. Additionally, we appreciate parents sending a note to the school to inform us if their child should be excused from PE and/or recess.
Medication
-
No medication will be given to your child until all the necessary paperwork is filled out by the doctor and turned into the Healthcare professionals. The medicine must stay in its original bottle with the pharmacy label on it and should not be expired. The label needs to include the student's name, the doctor’s name, the name of the medicine, how much to give, and when to give it.
-
Over-the-counter medicines like Tylenol or Ibuprofen will need a doctor's order using a special form.
-
Parents are required to provide any necessary medication for their child and hand it over to the Healthcare Professionals at the school.
-
For everyone's safety, students are not allowed to carry any medicine with them during school, including cough drops.
-
Any medication that needs to go home should be picked up by the parent unless other plans have been made with the Health Professionals
-
When dropping off medication, the parent must sign the acknowledgment form and be present as the medical assistant counts and confirms the medication details on the label.
Medicines left at the end of the school year will be disposed of safely.
The forms needed are
- A doctor’s note requesting the medication (one form for each medication)
- A parent consent form (GPISD Medication at School form, one for each medication)
- An Action Plan, which varies based on your child's health needs
If your child has a food allergy, you also need to fill out an Action Plan and a Dietary Accommodations form, both completed by your child's doctor.
You can find all these forms in the Forms section.
Extra Information
-
Please pack an extra set of clothing, including underwear and socks, in a plastic bag and place it in your child's backpack. Having a change of clothes on hand can be helpful in case of an accident. Additionally, for safety reasons, we recommend that children wear flat, closed-toe shoes with Velcro or laces, as they are more secure and help prevent injuries compared to sandals or flip-flops.
