Health & Medicine
Health Procedures
- If a student is on medication OF ANY KIND, please notify the School Nurse in writing. No medication of any kind can be given to or taken by a student without written permission from the parent.
- If a student is injured, his/her parents will be contacted immediately.
- If it seems necessary for a student to leave the School, he/she will be kept in the Clinic until a parent or a person designated by a parent comes for him/her.
- If emergency care is required, the student will be transported to St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital, unless otherwise indicated by parents. Emergency Health Information cards are made available for each new student upon entrance. This card serves as a Medical Consent to Treat card. It grants school personnel permission to provide treatment prior to admission to an approved medical facility.
- Contagious diseases or any other serious illnesses must be reported to the Nurse.
- The Academic Dean will notify teachers of the disposition of a case requiring a student’s extended absence.
Student Medical Leave Policy
In certain circumstances, it may become necessary for a student to have an extended absence from school for medical reasons. The School will handle these situations on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the Academic Dean, who will consult with the Assistant Head of School to arrange for a medical leave.
