Health Office

Bishop Alemany provides a Health Office located within the Main Office. A student who becomes ill during the school day must go to the Main Office and a member of the staff will contact the parents or guardians. The school does not provide treatment of any kind.

 

At no time should the student contact their parent or guardian for pick up during the school day. All students who become ill during the day must be excused by the Main Office.

 

In the event of any accident on campus or during a school-sponsored event a written report, including date and time, will be made and filed with the Main Office.

 

 

• Students who become ill during the day outside of class must report to the Main Office immediately.

 

• During class time, students must obtain written teacher permission to report to the Main Office.

 

• A student may never independently call the parents and tell them to come and pick him or her up during the school day.

 

• If the student should leave school without the necessary written permission (dismissal slip), the student is liable to school discipline.

 

 

State law does not permit students to carry ANY medication with them on school campus without first notifying the school. Students bringing ANY TYPE of medication to school must obtain a Medication Authorization Form from the Main Office. This form must be completed and submitted to the office indicating the frequency that the medication should be taken. It is important to understand that several over-the-counter and prescription medications are detectable by the school's contraband canines. To minimize the possibility of an unnecessary "alert" parents and students are urged to comply with this medication policy.

 

 

Students bringing any type of non-prescription medication to campus, including any pain relievers or cold medicine, must obtain a Medication Authorization from the Main Office. This form must be completed and submitted to the office by the parent indicating the frequency that the medication should be taken. Once the form has been submitted, the student will be allowed to carry the non-prescription medication on their person while on campus and will be responsible for taking the proper dosages at the proper times.

 

 

All prescription medication must be provided in the original package and kept in the Main Office where a school employee designated by the principal will allow the student to take the medication. Students must be ultimately responsible for knowing when and how much medication to take. Bishop Alemany is NOT responsible for administering proper dosages at proper times to students.

 

 

The policy regarding asthma inhalers is the same as non-prescription medication. Students who have a prescription to use an asthma inhaler will be permitted to carry it on their person after submitting the Medication Authorization to the Main Office. The student will be personally responsible for taking the proper dosages at the proper times.
