Kickapoo
is served by a full-time registered nurse. Her office is
located behind the Attendance Office.
Students who become ill or are injured are to report to the
Nurse’s Office. If the nurse is not in her office,
students should check with the secretaries in the front office,
the attendance office or an Assistant
Principal for assistance.
Students should always
have a pass from the classroom teacher to see the nurse.
If a student wants to see the nurse between
classes, the student should first check in with the next
period’s teacher and get a pass before going to the
Nurse’s Office. Should it become necessary for a student
to leave campus due to illness or injury, the nurse will
contact a parent or guardian before releasing the student
to leave.
Students with long term health conditions are to report
to the nurse during the first days of the school year. This
allows the nurse, as well as other faculty and staff members,
the opportunity to better care for emergencies that might
arise.
The nurse also serves as a health counselor to students
and is familiar with a wide variety of community resources
that are available. Students are encouraged to take advantage
of this service when necessary.
The nurse has established the following Health Office Hours:
7:30 – 7:50 Drop off medication, health
information, and make appointment for non-emergencies.
7:50 – 11:00

The following is a brief explanation of the medication
policy JHCD of the Springfield Public Schools: Student’s medication should be administered at home
if at all possible. However, if the physician’s orders,
relative to the time of day that the medication is required,
do not fit into the prescribed time frame, the medication
may be administered at school with proper procedures being
followed. Those procedures are as follows:
Prescription medication
- The
student’s authorized prescriber must provide a
written request that the student be given medication
during school hours. The request must state the name
of the student,
medication, date prescribed, purpose, dosage, time
of administration, frequency of administration, route
of administration, termination
date of administration and the physician’s name.
In lieu of the prescriber’s written request,
the nurse may accept a prescription label, properly
affixed
to the
medication. The label must contain all pertinent information
listed above.
- Parents
or guardians will complete a District Medication Administration
Form to give permission
for school personnel
to administer medication. District personnel will
NOT administer the first dose of any new medication.
- Prescription
medication that is to be taken for two weeks or less
may be carried and self-administered by the
student. Only a daily dose may be carried and must
be in the prescription
bottle or original container.
- Students
taking prescription medication for longer than two weeks
must have a written
request from the authorized prescriber
and the medication must be kept in a locked cabinet
in the office.
Over-the-counter medication
- School
personnel do not provide any over-the-counter medication
for students at any time. Examples include but are
not limited to aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, sinus
medication, eye
drops, etc.
- All over-the-counter
medication must be provided by the parent and/or guardian.
- If
it is necessary for a student to take an over-the-counter
medication on a regular or occasional basis over
a long period
of time, students may carry and self administer
a daily dose of over the counter medication if parent’s
written request on the authorized medication administration
form
is on file in the Nurse’s Office.
- Any over-the-counter
medication that is to be given by the nurse must have
a written request from an authorized
prescriber
on file in the Nurse’s Office.
- All medications
must be in their original containers.
Medication by injection
-
If a student has a known health condition that requires medication
by injection, an individual healthcare plan (IHP) will be
developed that includes the physician’s orders,
parent authorization and identifies the designated school
personnel
who are trained to administer the medication.
