Parent/Guardian Medical Guidelines for Rolling Hills Elementary School Clinic
Healthier Students Learn Better
School Accidents or Illnesses: The school nurse provides emergency care and emotional support when a student has an accident or becomes ill during school hours. However, if a student meets the exclusion guidelines below, requires provider care or a restful home environment, it is critical that they stay home that day or they are picked up from the clinic as soon as possible if they are already in school. Therefore, changes in emergency contact information should be updated as soon as possible in the parent on-line form located on the my.cherrycreekschools.org website. Accurate/current phone numbers in the correct priority order are essential.
Absences: School attendance is important for a successful student. Nevertheless, the exclusion guidelines below can help ensure a safer environment for students. It can be difficult deciding when a child is too ill to attend classes. The best way to prevent the spread of infection is through good hand washing, sneezing and coughing into your elbow, and avoiding touching your T zone (eyes, nose, mouth).

Medication Policy: Medication must be in the original container appropriately labeled from the pharmacy, and should be brought to the clinic by a parent accompanied by the prescription medication permission form. This form requires a health provider’s signature as well as a parent’s/guardian’s signature and should be dated. If your child needs a non-prescription medication on a schedule, you will be responsible for providing this medication to the clinic. Non-prescription medication must be brought in the original container and will be administered if accompanied by an over-the-counter medication form signed by a parent/guardian. More information can be found at
Allergies, Asthma, Seizure or other Diagnoses: If your child has asthma, an allergy, or other medical condition, please note this when registering your child in the on-line Parent Forms. If the student requires an Allergy & Anaphylaxis Action Plan Form, it must be signed and dated by a health provider and parent/guardian. This form is required when administering an antihistamine and/or epinephrine/EpiPen for mild to severe symptoms. Colorado State Asthma Care Plan forms must accompany measured dose inhalers (MDIs) for those diagnosed with asthma. These Care Plans must be signed and dated by a healthcare provider and a parent/guardian, too.
Please contact the school nurse if you have any questions or concerns.
