The Blaine County School District cares about the mental and physical well-being of our students and staff. The documents listed below will give you some guidelines and information on health-related topics of concern to all of us.
Mission:
To help students be healthy, safe, in school, and ready to learn.
Goals:
Develop standardized procedures for providing medical care across all schools aligned with evidence-based practices including: assessments, action plan development, documentation, education
Develop a consistent method for documentation and maintaining records of student medical care
Use the nursing process to identify, treat and educate about medical conditions
Allergies
By working together, parents, students, medical professionals, school district team members, and community partners can create a safe and nurturing environment for all of our students, including those with life-threatening allergies.
The purpose of administering medications in school is to help each child maintain an optimal state of health that may enhance his/her educational plan. Ideally, all medication should be given at home. However, there are students who will need to be given medications during the school day. Please click on the following links for more information regarding administering medications at school and the Physician's Order for Prescription and Non-Prescription Medication Form.
Emergency Care Plans should be completed with the Primary Care Physician, Parent, and School Nurse. In some circumstances, the Emergency Care Plan may be part of your child's 504 Plan.
