Students are not allowed to carry medicines in lunch boxes or back packs to take themselves unless specifically approved by MD and the parent in writing on the District Medication form. Some older students with inhalers may be approved to carry and self medicate with this type of approval process. Forms for parent and physician signatures may be downloaded from the DOCUMENTS area of this web site. LifeThreatening Conditions All students with any life
threatening condition such as Bee sting alleries, peanut allergies.
diabetes, severe asthma, severe seizures etc. must have
a care plan submitted
by their Medical Doctor and have all medications/
supplies for this
plan on file at school before
the first day of student attendance.
Students with
life-threating health conditions will not be allowed to attend
school until they have medication and/or treatment orders and a
nursing plan in
place.
Washington
State law (SHB 2834) requires these forms be
completed before the beginning of each school year even if there
have been no changes in the plans from the previous
year.
There are
treatment/care plan order forms for download in the documents area
of this site. We provide them as a potentially useful
framework for physician orders. The plans provide step by
step orders that translate well into emergency care plans for
students. Physicians are free to write orders within a
different
format.
Diabetics/
Epipens
Diabetes and any student requiring orders for Epi-Pens for allergies ( BEE stings, Peanut, Nut, Food and Seafood) are considered to have life threatening conditions. Asthma
Students with asthma
that have been hospitalized two or more times in the past year
because of their asthma are considered to have a life threatening
condition at least for that school year. Students with
asthma that are controlled with medication and have not required
hospitalization in the past 12 months are not automatically
considered to have a life threatening
condition.
Seizures
Some students with seizure disorders are considered to have life threatening conditions, please consult with the nurse about your student if they have seizures. Life threatening
conditions are not limited to the above conditions, please consult
the nurse if your student has health concerns that would be
considered life
threatening.
Our goal
is to keep all of our students safe and healthy. Parents are
an important piece in formulating this plan for their
students. The treatment plans this process produces help
insure the best care for
students.
Available for Download: Treatment plans for * Diabetic * Allergies * Asthma * Other - any other conditions * Permission to Give Medications at School form needs to be completed by both the parent and physician if the student will require medications at school. A permission to give medications that is signed by the parent and MD will be required for students with these Life Threatening Conditions in addition to the LTC forms Attendance
 and
Sick Days Any day that your
student is sick and will be home for the school day the parent or
caregiver needs to call the Main Office at 368-4150 to notify the
registrar of the illness and to excuse your student's
absence. Parents not making this call will get a call from PARKWOOD
SAFE ARRIVAL to verify that your student is home sick. You must
