Student
Health Services
Lubbock
High School has a qualified Registered Nurse on duty
to minister to the health needs of students that may
arise during the school day and to maintain student
health records. If a student becomes ill or injured
during school, the teacher will allow the student
to report to the clinic. If the illness or injury
is such that the student requires more in-depth attention,
the nurse, in conjunction with the office, will contact
the parent. In the absence of the nurse, this function
will be filled by the counselors.
For
additional service, parents/guardians of Lubbock High
students may make an appointment with their closest
neighborhood elementary or secondary school nurse.
Parents may also use the District phone at their neighborhood
school to phone the Lubbock High attendance office
in the event of their student's being absent due to
illness.
The
administering of medications to any student by their
school is limited by the following provisions:
| 1 |
No
medication, including aspirin, will be administered
unless the school nurse has a written request
to do so from the parent, legal guardian, or other
person having legal control of the student. |
| 2 |
All
such requests must be kept on file in the nurse's
office. |
| 3 |
The
medication must be in its original container and
properly labeled. |
| 4 |
The
medication may be administered by the school nurse
or persons designated by the principal. |
The
following procedures will be followed in accidents
or illness:
| 1 |
The
name of the doctor that parents wish to be called
in case of an emergency must be on file in the
office. |
| 2 |
If
an injury or illness is considered serious, every
effort will be made to contact the parent and/or
doctor specified by the parent. |
| 3 |
No
student who is ill or injured will be sent home
without first contacting the parent. In extreme
emergencies, the administrator may make arrangements
for immediate hospitalization of injured or ill
students, contacting the parent or guardian in
advance if possible. |
Accident
insurance may be purchased through the school district.
For information, contact the Administration office.
