If your child carries an inhaler, EPI-pen, or diabetic supplies with them, please have the doctor complete the “self-medicate” order on our website. There are no “stock” medications such as Tylenol or Motrin in the Health Office. ANY prescription or over the counter medications such as Benadryl, Motrin, Tylenol, Tums, and cough drops require a doctor’s order and must be provided by the parent in school in original packaging to be administered.  If your student is on an ADHD medication or controlled medication requiring administration during school hours, a parent/guardian must deliver to school directly to the school nurse.  Although it is always best that these medications are taken at home if possible. Any medication, restrictions, accommodations, or treatments must be written by a MD, DO, Dentist, or APN or Physician’s Assistant.  

Contained in the nurse forms packet are emergency plans for asthma, allergies, and other medical conditions.

ALL freshman students, transfer students, and junior students are required to submit an updated physical exam to the health department.  ALL athletes must submit an updated physical annually to the health department AS WELL AS the Athletic department.  Athletics requires other important paperwork in addition through a “Healthy Roster” account.  When a physical is past 90 days, a “Health History Update Questionnaire” is required to both Athletic and Health department by state law.

All students are screened every year for height, weight, and blood pressure.  Grade 9 is also screened for scoliosis, unless parent request to opt out.  Grade 10 will have their vision screened.  Grade 11 will have scoliosis screening, unless parent requests opt out, as well as a brief hearing test.  Any abnormal findings will be referred to parent for evaluation by appropriate doctor.  If you wish for your freshman or junior student to OPT OUT of scoliosis screening, please email us at jwinters@redbankcatholic.com by September 12th.
