Nursing

Please let us know if your student has a health concern, diagnosis, or injury. This will help us to ensure their safety during the school day.

We always attempt to reach a parent or guardian by phone when a student comes to the health office. We ask that if a student is injured or ill, they come to be evaluated in the health office and not call parents or guardians from their cell phones.

Emergency Medication

If your student has asthma that requires a rescue inhaler, or an allergy that requires an EpiPen, they should carry this on their person at all times. Please complete an action plan and turn it into the health office.

Medication

Students are not allowed to carry medication on campus without written approval in the health office. If you would like to have any over the counter medications available for your student at school, such as Ibuprofen or Tylenol, allergy medication, or cough drops etc., please take a look at the APS Medication Policy to the right to find the needed forms. You may also stop by and get a copy from the health office. Please call at anytime with any questions.

Please call the nurse to discuss any medication that may need to be taken at school that is prescribed by a doctor and complete the provider authorization form.

Prevent Lice

Use lice repel spray daily.

Mandatory New Student and 8th-grade Health Screening

Families sign a consent form during ParentVue registration that provides consent for screening (vision, hearing, dental, etc). If you do not want your child screened, then you need to provide the health office with a written statement/exemption letter declining screenings. This needs to be provided every year
