The School Health Nurse has the responsibility to provide
emergency care and health guidance, and to coordinate the resources of the
school, home and the community as they pertain to the total health of the
students and staff.
The school is responsible for the administration of emergency care and is
primarily limited to first aid. First aid is defined as the immediate and
temproary care given in order to prevent further injury until medical care
may be secured. All medical treatment is considered outside the province
of school responsibility. Transportation, except for emergencies, is the
responsibility of the parent or guardian. If you are unavailable to be reached
by phone during the day, it is essential that the school has current emergency
numbers. Transportation for a sick child must be available.
