Student Health Services and Requirements
School Board Approved: June 6, 2005

The Board may appoint a school nurse to function in the school health program. A school nurse shall be a registered professional nurse licensed in New Hampshire.

The Board may employ or contract with a licensed practical nurse or a certified nursing assistant, to work under the direct supervision of the school registered nurse. Treatment is limited to first aid care. The administration will attempt to notify parents before a student who is ill is permitted to go home.

1. Any student not in class because of illness must report to the nurse.
2. All student medications must be kept in the custody of the school nurse. No medication is to be administered by school personnel except as prescribed by a doctor and accompanied by a parental permission form.
3. All accidents occurring on school property are to be reported to the school nurse and the school principal immediately. Students attending school during the extended day, night, or summer school or any other time when the school nurse is not in the building are to report to the main office immediately in case of illness or accident.
