SELF-MEDICATING OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS <br /> `Students at this age level need close supervision with all medications, including over-the-counter <br /> medications. No self-medicating will be allowed at the Kenneth C. Coombs Elementary School. <br /> This includes cough drops, vitamins, creams, patches and other over-the-counter medical products. <br /> PARENT/GUARDIAN HEALTH NOTIFICATIONS/ALERTS <br /> • Parents/guardians will be notified, as needed, throughout the school year of occurrences of <br /> communicable diseases. Under certain circumstances, further information will be disseminated <br /> through the Connect Ed computerized notification system. <br /> • Due to increased nut and seed allergies among young children, teachers when applicable will <br /> refrain from these as snacks in the classroom. Parent/guardian cooperation is essential in this <br /> regard so as not to endanger others' health. You will be notified in writing if your child's <br /> classroom is an allergy free classroom. <br /> HAND WASHING <br /> Hand washing is a standard practice in preschool and kindergarten as children enter the <br /> classroom in the morning. Children also wash hands prior to snack, before lunch and after using <br /> the bathroom. Adults visiting or volunteering in these rooms during the school day must wash <br /> their hands upon entering. In grades one and two specific classrooms may display a hand <br /> washing sign on the classroom door and/or doorway floor. Upon visiting or volunteering in <br /> these rooms, one must wash hands upon entering. <br /> TOOTH BRUSHING <br /> Preschool and kindergarten children who eat two or more meals at school during the day (i.e., <br /> breakfast and lunch) will have the option to brush their teeth. Snack does not constitute one of <br /> these meals. Parents/guardians will be required to sign a permission slip and will provide the <br /> necessary equipment. <br /> LAVATORY HYGIENE <br /> Regarding toileting and diapering, children's Individualized Education Plans will generally <br /> indicate the requirement for this assistance. Early childhood guidelines will be followed. <br /> SCHEDULE OF HEALTH SERVICES <br /> Services Provided By Grade <br /> Vision/hearing screening (1) Nurse or Health Assistant PS-6 <br /> Postural screening Nurse, Health Assistant or PE Dept. 5, 6 <br /> Physical Examinations (2) M.D. K and 4 <br /> Immunizations <br /> with parent permission reviewed each year M.D. 3 - 6 <br /> Heights and weights Nurse or Health Assistant PS-6 <br /> Dental program: Fluoride rinse <br /> once weekly all year Nurse or Health Assistant and Teacher 1-6 <br /> Additionally, the screenings are provided to all new students and children under Chapter 766. <br /> 55 <br />
