Medication

 

 

The health services staff at Fulton City School District sees to all health-related needs while your child is at school, including medication administration, basic first aid and NYS-mandated screenings (hearing, vision, scoliosis).

 

PHYSICAL EXAMS

Physical Exams are required for new entrants, Pre-K or Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th-graders. For the child entering a required physical year, a physical performed during the previous school year would satisfy the physical requirement. If you plan to schedule a physical during the school year, this will work also. Please notify the nurses office of upcoming appointments and provide a copy of the physical after it has been completed.

Vision, Hearing and Scoliosis screenings are done throughout the school year. Notification will only be sent home if the results are not within normal limits. If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse.

CARE PLANS

Should I send my sick child to school?

If your child gets sick, it is often most appropriate to keep them home from school. A child who is sick will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness to other children and staff. Please make arrangements for childcare ahead of time so you will not be caught without a place for your child to stay if they are ill.

If your child becomes ill at school and the teacher or school nurse feel the child is too sick to benefit from school or is contagious to other children, you will be called to come and take them home from school. It is essential that your child's teacher and nurse have a phone number where you can be contacted during the day and an emergency number in the event you cannot be reached.

Please be sure that arrangements can be made to transport your child home from school and that childcare is available in case of illness. If your daytime or emergency phone number changes during the school year, please notify your child's nurse immediately.

Students should stay out of school for the following conditions:

  1. Fever in the past 24 hours
  2. Vomiting in the past 24 hours
  3. Diarrhea in the past 24 hours
  4. Chills
  5. Sore throat
  6. Strep Throat (must have been taking an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school)
  7. Bad cough, with a very runny nose or bad cough, especially if it has kept the child awake at night

These guidelines are meant to serve the best interests of all children in our schools.
