HEALTH FORMS:
There are 2 forms that need to be completed EVERY year for EVERY Student for the health office.
The Student Health Form and the Parent/Guardian Approval Statement For Over the Counter Medications.
HEALTH FORMS are available on the Lakeview Health Office Website.
There are hard copies available in the Elementary Office (Health Office).
If you complete (ed) the [OLR] ON LINE REGISTRATION through ParentVUE then you have already completed the 2 mandatory forms electronically.
Other forms and requirements that are needed for certain medical conditions.
ASTHMA REQUIRES YEARLY ASTHMA ACTION PLAN ON FILE
SIGNIFICANT ALLERGIES need an EMERGENCY CARE PLAN AND if that allergy is a food, then it ALSO needs a SPECIAL DIET REQUEST FORM and a doctor’s order.
A Medication Administration Form must be completed for all medications left in the Health Office.
Bring to the health office over-the-counter medications for your children. Particularly if they are prone to indigestion, headaches, allergy congestion, eczema, hives, etc. If your child is not seriously ill, giving your child the same medication, they normally get at home can help them stay in school.
RESPONSIBLE Junior High and High School students may keep small amounts of over-the-counter medications on them, if the parent signs both the top and BOTTOM portion of The Parent/Guardian Approval Statement For Over the Counter Medications form.
EXTRA CLOTHES
Keep extra clothes in your student's locker &/or bag. I recommend at least pants, underwear, and socks for all ages. Clothes rip, get wet or dirty, and stain in awkward spots. Better to have extra on hand just in case.
Accepting donations of new or gently used pants and underwear of all school age sizes to stock in the Health Office. Youth Small, Medium, Large for boys and girls are needed most, but we do use all sizes through XXL in adults. Please also consider donating gallon-sized buckets for use in the health office and in classrooms for when kids get sick. The school could also use another wheel-chair or 2 if anyone has one.
