The school clinic is staffed from 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM each day. Scholars who become ill or injured at school are given health care in the clinic. Minor injuries are treated. Parents are contacted when the injury or illness is of a more serious nature so that they may pick up their scholar.
Whenever it is necessary for your scholar to receive medication at school, the guidelines below MUST BE FOLLOWED:
- Medication must be in the original labeled container. Pharmacists may provide two labeled bottles for this purpose. Medications sent in bags or unlabeled containers will not be given. If your scholar takes daily medication, please send an extra bottle to be used for field trips and ASP.
- Written permission of the parent/guardian is required for the administration of all medications.
- The parent/guardian must inform the school of any medication changes. New medications or new doses will not be given unless a new form is completed.
- Medications must be brought to the office/clinic by the parent.
- Unused medication will be disposed of unless picked up within one week after medication is discontinued. If medication is given throughout the school year, medication will be disposed of according to the Cobb County medication regulation section A12a.
Medication Policy Forms and Care Plans can be found here
Is My Child Too Sick For School?
It is often difficult to decide if a child is too sick for school. Please use the guidelines in Rule JGC-6 (English / Spanish) to prevent the spread of contagious diseases and promote good student health.
