My signature below gives permission for the following:
1. The school nurse to provide first aid and medical treatment to my child for any illness or injury that occurs during the school day.
2. The school nurse to share relevant information regarding my child's health with appropriate school personnel. A copy of this information may be given to emergency service personnel in the event of an emergency.
3. The school nurse to exchange information with my child's physician for the purposes of treatment, referral, and attendance coordination (e.g. to request notes for absences when your child was seen by their physician, to request orders for prescription medications that need to be administered during the school day, to relay assessment results after an emergency or injury etc).
4. The nurse to administer medication as ordered by my child's physician.
5. I understand that in case of illness or injury to my child, the school will make every effort to notify me. If I can not be reached, the school will notify the emergency contacts listed above.
6. In the event of an emergency, permission for my child to be transported via ambulance to the nearest emergency care facility to receive emergency treatment.
7. In the event a parent/guardian can not be reached in an emergency, permission for the attending physician, hospital, or other emergency care center facility to secure proper treatment for my child.
8. I acknowledge that I understand that it is the policy of Sturgis Charter Public School that no student shall carry any medication on their person while on school grounds. This includes leaving medications in a locker or backpack. This includes over the counter medication, prescription medication, supplements, and creams. There are certain exceptions to this including emergency medication such as Epipens and inhalers, however, the school nurse must have an active plan with the student and family.
