A student will not be allowed to remain at school if he/she complains of any of the following:

• Temperature of 100.0 or higher
• Vomiting and/or diarrhea
• An undetermined rash
• Feeling too ill to remain at school

To prevent exposing other students unnecessarily to illness, a student should not come to school if he/she has the following symptoms:

• An undetermined rash
• A temperature of 100.0 or greater within the past 24 hours

Medications

All medications (prescription and non-prescription) must be furnished by the parent/guardian and appropriate medication administration forms must be completed by the parent/guardian and physician (for all prescription medications). Medication will be delivered to the clinic by the parent/guardian in the original and properly labeled container and must be picked up by the parent/guardian or another adult which the parent/guardian can designate. The nurse and/or clinic assistant will administer all medications in the clinic with the exception of students that are required by their physician to carry inhalers or epipens with them at all times. In those situations, the doctor must provide written orders to the school.
