If
at all possible, students knowing they will be out of school for any
period of time should discuss and plan with teachers.
If
there is any chance that the student will need any medication at school
upon their return, bring Medication Administration Form B to doctor's
appointment.
Elevator
access--Mrs. Mathis requires a $5 deposit on elevator keys. Don't
use crutches on the steps. In
the case of surgery or major injury, a physician's note it required with
diagnosis and physical limitations.
Special Needs
If your student has a special need related to a
medical condition, please contact the school nurse. An Emergency Action Plan and Individual
Health Care Plan can be developed. If
the need is related to asthma, allergies or diabetes, there is a form to
complete which can be accessed under Forms.
Allergies
Some students have severe food allergies which can
be very serious or life-threatening. If
your student has food allergies, indicate this on the Emergency Medical
Authorization Form and complete an Allergy Information Sheet. We have provided a "Nut Safe" table in the
cafeteria. Most of the food offered in
the cafeteria will have allergy information available to students. If your child has food allergies, please stress
that it is imperative that they check labels and in the case that a label is
not available, they should refrain from eating an item. If you have further concerns, contact the
school nurse.
Screenings
The
state of Ohio
mandates that all students in the ninth grade and students new to the district
have their vision and hearing screened.
If a problem is detected, the parent/guardian will be notified by a
letter.
Immunizations
In order to attend school in Ohio, your student must have completed
immunizations required under the Ohio Revised Code. For an up-to-date list of what immunizations
are required, go to http://www.fairborn.k12.oh.us/docs/vaccines%202008.pdf.
Emergencies
An updated Emergency Medical Authorization Form
will be kept on each student. These are
mailed prior to the start of school and should be returned on the first day,
completed and signed. If information
changes during the year, it is the parent/guardian's responsibility to notify
the school nurse. If a major accident or
emergency occurs, the safety and care of the student is the priority and a
parent/guardian will be notified as soon as possible (and usually
simultaneously).
