Welcome to Pope High School Clinic. We support our students by providing immediate assessment and first aid for injuries and illnesses that occur at school. We also refer students and their parents when they require more specialized medical attention. Please visit the Cobb County School District School Health Services website for answers to other questions about medications and healthcare at school.
LOCATION AND HOURS
We are located adjacent to the Attendance office. Our hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
CLINIC PROCEDURE
A student who becomes ill during the school day should report to the clinic. We assess the severity of the injury or illness and, if necessary, contact a parent. We discourage students from contacting their parents via personal cell phone when ill or sick prior to coming to the clinic.
STUDENT MEDICATION
If possible, students should take prescription medications at home. Students may carry EpiPens, inhalers, or diabetic supplies for their medical condition and keep all other prescription medications in the clinic. Parents must submit authorization forms to the clinic before students can carry medications or receive them from the clinic.
Please download the appropriate forms to authorize the distribution of medicine on campus: Health Forms
