  2. Office Procedures Student Emergency Forms Emergency forms are sent home over the summer at the start of each school year.  Please review them carefully, make the appropriate changes and return the completed forms to school during the first week.  Students are instructed to bring the completed forms to their homeroom teachers during that first week. It is of the utmost importance that you complete these forms so that we, as a school system, are able to contact you with regards to your child.  Physical Education Excuses  If your child is ill or has a physical impediment that prevents him/her from participating in physical education a parental note is acceptable for a two day period.  If your child needs to extend that excuse for a longer period of time you must provide the school with a physician's note with the diagnosis and length of time that the child will be unable to participate in physical education. Medication Students are not to bring medication to school.  If your child requires medication during the school day you can download the medication form, and bring the form with the medication to the nurse's office.   Early Release Due to Medical Concerns: If your child becomes ill/injured during the school day the this procedure will be followed: 1.  The student is to report to the nurse's office for examination and be assessed for necessity to be dismissed from school early. 2.  Parent/guardian will be the first called, if unavailable then the emergency contacts will be contacted. A student will not be released to anyone that is not listed on the emergency contact list unless, the parent calls and states name of the individual that will be picking up student from school. 3. If medically necessary 911 will be called to transport your child to a hospital that is determined by the emergency professionals.  The parent/guardian will be notified immediately of this transport, a staff member of the school will accompany and remain with the student until a family member arrives.
