STUDENT HEALTH


PHSSA's school nurse will provide health services during school hours.

If your child is diagnosed with food or environmental allergies, asthma, diabetes, seizures, and/or other chronic health conditions, please notify the school nurse and your child's teacher.  It is our goal to work with families and students to ensure PHSSA students receive the best care possible while at school.  However, if we are not notified of health conditions, we are unable to provide quality health services.

If your child becomes ill or injured while at school, he/she will be sent to the clinic.  If the illness or injury is serious, the school will contact those individuals designated on the student's Emergency Contact Form.

In the event of a medical emergency, emergency services will be contacted. If the student requires emergency transportation services, a school staff member will accompany the student and the parent will be contacted.


If your child wakes up and is not feeling well, it can sometimes be difficult to determine whether or not they need to stay home.  Please use the following guidelines to help in the decision making process.  Your child should stay home, if he/she
  • has a fever of 100 degrees F or more and should remain home for 24 hours after the fever returns to normal;
  • has vomited or has diarrhea and should remain home for 24 hours after it has stopped;
  • has a persistent cough;
  • has any rash;
  • has open or draining skin sores; or
  • has inflamed or draining ears or eyes.

Please refer to pages 7 and 8 of the Parent Handbook for further information.
