Medications      rxmeds4c.gif
 
A Permission to Administer Medications at
School form must be completed by parents
and physicians for student's to have any
medications at school.

These include all Medications:
Over-the-counter medications such as:

          o  Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Advil etc.

          o  Tums
          o  Vitamins
All Prescription medications such as:   
          *  Inhalers         
inhaler.gif
          *  Daily Medicatons
          *  EPI-PENS   

1) Does that mean we have to make a
special trip to our health care providers
office to get this completed?

 
No!  Your Shorewood nurse, Paula, would be happy to
help you in this process by faxing  the
"Permission to Administer Medications at School"
form to your health care provider. The parent or guardian needs to sign the parent portion authorizing the health care
provider to return fax the forms to me. I can
even fax you the form for your signature if you
have a fax available to you.  I will really try to
make this as painless as possible! 
 
2) How long are the completed forms valid?
These forms are valid for the current school year
only.  New Permission to Administer Medications
at School forms must be completed for each
school year.

3) My student gets occasional headaches or
cramps or upset stomachs etc….  what can we do?

I am happy to keep a supply of those
over-the-counter medications that may help your
student.  I need to have a  Permission to
Administer Medications at School form
completed by the parent/guardian and physician – 
Remember:  even for over-the-counter medications.

4) May my High School student carry an
inhaler for their asthma?


Yes! they may carry their inhaler,  with the
signed permission of the parent/guardian,
physician and agreement of the Shorewood
principal and nurse.
The permission slip must
read "Student may carry inhaler in backpack
and self administer."

Students are actually encouraged to carry their
inhalers with them, it is often a long way to the
health office!  Many students are turning out for
sports and other activities after school when the
health office may be closed.  I would be happy to
keep an extra inhaler in the health office in case
one gets misplaced or is unavailable.

The student must also follow the written
procedures on page 4 of the Shoreline
School District Policy Manual #3416P.

5) My student takes medications every day
at home, but none are needed for school. 
What if there is some sort of event that
keeps students at school overnight? 
What could I do to be prepared?


I recommend families to provide the health office
with a 3 day supply of “emergency” medications
especially if your student is taking medications for:
 
                           *ADD/ADHD       
                           *Depression/Anxiey
      
                    *Asthma
                           *Seizures   
                           *Diabetes   
Permission To Administer Medications at School
forms need to be completed for those emergency medications.

Please refer to Shoreline School District Policy Manual #3416 and #3416P

6)  How do I supply the medications?
The medications must be in the original containers
with the correct medication and dosage.  I can not
accept medications in baggies or unlabeled bottles. Parents are encouraged to bring the medications to the health room, unless other arrangements are made.

Free and Reduced Lunch lunchspread4c.gif

New Free and Reduced Lunch Applications
must be completed at the beginning of EACH
school year.

Please be aware that even if a student
does not intend to eat lunch at school, we
urge students to apply for free or reduced
lunch.  If a student qualifies, they will be
given a letter verifying qualification. 
SAVE THE QUALIFYING LETTER!
It will be used as documentation for a
variety of fee waivers/fee reductions
such as:


•    Class Fees
•    Athletic Fees
•    Summer school scholarships
•    Field trip fees
•    College application fees
•    PSAT fees
•    SAT fees
•    ACT fees
•    AP fees

Students should see their counselor regarding
fee waivers.  If you choose to do so, you
may give a copy of your qualifying letter to
your school counselor to be filed in a
confidential file in the Counseling Center. 
This will allow you to be contacted about
possible waivers, reductions and
opportunities based on free/reduced
lunch qualification.


Students that attended any school in the
Shoreline School District the previous school
year and qualified for Free or Reduced Lunch
will have a 30-day "Grace" period at the
beginning of the school year.  It is very
important for families to complete the
new applications and turn them in as early as
possible in September of each school year so
there will not be any disruption of services.


Applications are mailed to all families in
August and there are extra copies available
all year long in the Shorewood health office. There is also an application on the Shoreline School District Web Site.
Please complete an application at any time
during the school year, as family needs change.

Substitute House Bill (SHB) 2834 mandates that
students with life-threatening health conditions
may not attend school until they have medication
and/or treatment orders and a nursing plan in place.


These plans and orders need to 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 order forms in the documents
area of this site.  I have provided them as a
potentially useful framework for physician
orders.  They provide step-by-step orders
that translate well into emergency care plans
for students.  Physicians are free to write orders
within a different format.


Diabetic Students and any student requiring
orders for EPI-PENS for allergies are considered
to have life threatening conditions.


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.


Some students with seizure disorders are
considered to have life threatening conditions,
please consult with the nurses about your
student if they have seizures.


Life threatening conditions are not limited to
the above conditions; please consult with the
nurse if your student has health concerns that
would be considered life threatening.  My 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
plan process helps to insure the best care
for students.


Available for Download:

    * Treatment plans for

        º    Diabetes
        º    Allergies
        º    Asthma
        º    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 any
medications at school.


    * Mutual Exchange of Information Form is
often helpful for the nurses to have completed
by the parent so they may consult with the
student's physician regarding the care plan

Sports Physicals   cleats.jpg
 

WIAA guidelines require that all students
have a physical examination prior to competing in interscholastic sports. 

The School District sport physical form is valid
for 24 months from the date of the exam.

If families do not use the Shoreline School
District form, the health care provider and
parent must provide all of the information
asked for on the district form in order for
the physical to be accepted by the school district. 
The health care provider must also write on their
form that the physical they are providing is valid
for 24 months or the school district will assume the physical is valid for 13 months. 

Who may complete a physical examination as
defined by WIAA rules?
•    MD –     Medical Doctor
•    DO –     Doctor of Osteopathy
•    ARNP –  Certified Registered Nurse
•    PAC –    Physician’s Assistant
•    NP-      Naturopathic Physician

Please refer to WIAA regulations section
18.13.0 for complete requirements.

Other forms are also needed before your student
participates.  These forms are available at
the business office.  Once all the forms are turned in,
a yellow card will be stamped for the coach to
keep with emergency and insurance information.
For each sport season these forms must be completed.

Please remember:  No nursing services are available
during after school activities. Emergency medications
kept in the health office will not be available.  If
your student requires emergency medication, other
arrangements must be in place.

Immunizations Update
Several newer vaccines are available.
Families are encouraged to talk with
their medical providers about the HPV,
Tdap and Meningitis vaccines. 
Families should also be aware of changes
to school immunization requirements.
  
Seniors are encouraged to consult with their
medical provider regarding the need of a
tdap booster vaccine and a meningitis vaccine.

Chicken Pox (Varivax)  Children entering
kindergarten, 1st, 6th or 7th grades must
provide proof they have received this
vaccine or had chicken pox.  The vaccine is
not required if a child has have had chicken pox. 
For children under age 13 one dose is required. 
Children 13 and older who has not received the
varicella vaccine should receive two doses
spaced at least 28 days apart. 
Chicken pox appear as an itchy rash lasting
from a few days to two weeks.  The virus
may be spread several days before the rash
appears. The rash is often uncomfortable,
causes extended time out of school,
and pre-disposes a child to skin infections. 
Vaccinated children can still develop chicken pox.

www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/varicella/default.htm

Hepatitis A (Hep A) This vaccine is not
required for school attendance and many
students have not received it.  It is a two-dose
series that is available to persons over age one.
Hepatitis A is a liver disease that is
rarely fatal and does not lead to
chronic liver problems.  Victims
may experience short-term
nausea, headache, fatigue, skin rash,
dark urine, jaundice, and flu-like symptoms.
People do not need to engage in high-risk
behavior to be exposed to hepatitis A, it is
usually passed through infected food or through
infected human feces.

www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/a/index.htm

Hepatitis B (Hep B)  This 3 dose vaccination
series is recommended starting in infancy and
is required for students in K-10th grades. 
If your child has not received all 3 doses,
contact your medical provider.  Hepatitis B
is a form of chronic liver disease that may
cause victims to experience for the rest of
their lives fatigue, nausea or weight loss,
enlarged liver and abdominal pain. It is
usually contracted through sexual or
blood-to-blood contact with an infected person.
Once infected, a person will always carry
the virus. There is no cure and it can be fatal. 


http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/b/index.htm


Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)  It is not required
for school but is recommended for women age 11
and older.  It is most effective if
administered before women become sexually
active. The virus is transmitted through
sexual contact, has been shown to cause
some types of cervical cancer, and is a
cause of genital warts. The vaccine
provides some protection again some
(but not all) types of HPV.  The immunization,
requiring 3 doses of vaccine, does not prevent
all cervical cancer and is expected to be
effective for at least 5 years.


www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/hpv/vac-faqs.htm


Meningitis (Meningococal/MCV4)   The vaccine
is available to persons 11 years of age and
older and is not required for school. There
are many types and causes of meningitis,
including infection by viruses or bacteria.
Meningitis is a swelling of the lining of the
brain or spinal cord. The swelling can lead
to problems such as hearing impairments,
brain damage, or death.  This vaccine
protects against some types of bacterial
meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is spread
through the exchange of respiratory droplets
usually by coughing and sneezing. It is most
prevalent in crowded living situations, such as dormitories, boarding schools or other group
living with persons from various geographical
areas.  Symptoms often appear similar to
influenza:  sudden high fever, headache,
stiff neck, nausea, vomiting and exhaustion.
Since symptoms progress quickly, it is
mportant that medical attention is
sought immediately.


www.doh.wa.gov/cfh/Immunize/meningococcal.htm


Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (Tdap)   This
newer immunization is now required for children
entering 6th grade, for whom it has been 5 or
more years since the last tetanus vaccination. 
It is recommended for persons 11 to 64 years
of age, for whom it has been two or more years
since the last tetanus immunization. Tdap
combines the tetanus and diphtheria components
with pertussis.  Pertussis, or whooping cough,
is a bacterial illness that causes severe
spasms of coughing.The disease can last several
weeks or months and is spread by i
nfected persons who cough and sneeze. 
It can be fatal for infants and young children. 
For more information: 


www.cdc.gov/nip/vaccine/tdap/default.htm

 
These vaccines are available through the
public health department as well as some
pharmacies and medical offices. Some are
covered by medical insurance, others are
not. For more information on vaccines,
please contact your health care provider or
check the above web sites

Immunizations are available from your private

  Home Hospital Instuction    homewrk_hh.gif

house.gif Home/Hospital instruction is provided to
students who are temporarily unable to attend school
for an estimated period of four weeks
(20 consecutive school days) or more because
of a physical and/or mental disability or illness. 
The program does not provide tutoring to
students caring for an infant or a relative
who is ill.

This program allows students to continue their
education through a School District tutor that
contacts the student’s teacher(s) for
assignments and then goes to the student's
home or to the hospital to deliver and pick
up assignments and assist where needed.


Home Hospital is a state wide program that has
guidelines we must follow
(
WAC 392-182-218)

The maximum amount of time a student may
use these services within a single school year
is 18 weeks.

 
The student may return to school before the 20
days is up if their recovery takes less time then
anticipated with no penalty. Students may also
return for partial days as their condition improves
and continue to receive home hospital/instruction.

There are 4 forms needed to complete the
application process:


  1. Shoreline Public Schools Special Programs Request for Home/Hospital Instruction
  2. Application for Home Hospital Instruction
  3. Authorization for Exchange of Confidential Information
  4.  Nurses Report for Home Hospital Instruction

  1.  Shoreline Public Schools Special Programs Request
for Home/Hospital Instruction.
This is the form that is filled out by the student's
physician. The physician MUST state that the
student will be out for at least 20 consecutive
school days (4 weeks) or we may not process the
application.
The student may return to school
before the 20 days is up if their recovery takes
ess time then anticipated with no penalty. Students
may also return for partial days as their condition 
improves and continue to receive home
hospital/instruction.

This form is returned to the nurses office.


  2.  Application for Home/Hospital Instruction
This is filled out by the student's parent/guardian .
This form is r
eturned to the nurses office.

3.  Authorization for Exchange of Confidential
Information:

This allows the nurses to speak directly to your
student’s physician to coordinate services and needs. 
We com
monly limit the scope of our contact to the
current concern that is keeping the student out of school. 
This form is returned to the nurses office.


 4.  Nurses Report for Home Hospital Instruction
This report is completed by your nurses from the
information gathered from the physician and parent
completed forms.  We then fax the forms to Student Services
at the School District Central office who
manages the Home Hospital program.  The Home
Hospital tutor will be contacted by them on the day
the paperwork is turned in.

instruction may be downloaded by choosing

Head Lice

           Two words that make parents cringe when they hear them!

Live Head Lice       
 
livelouse1.jpeg

And their egg sacks called Nits  

nits.jpeg

Remember, head lice do not fly or jump, they crawl.

ANYONE can be infected with head lice.  It is not
about being clean, just about being in the right place
at the wrong time for a louse to walk on to your
head or be transferred there by:

  • sharing hats
  • sharing coats or other clothing that could supply a route to your head
  • sharing combs, brushes or other hair items
  • Upholstered furniture
  • bedding
  • stuffed animals
There are chemical shampoos available.
If you choose to use them, be sure to
follow the directions. Do not overuse them.
 
   
    The head lice have become resistant to
    the pestisides and often the harsh
    chemical treatments are not effective. 

The most effective way of removing all nits
(eggs) and live lice is to use a
long tooth lice comb.
There are different types available.  Here is one example of a lice comb
                         licecomb.jpeg

Comb your student's hair until you no longer
can find any more nits or lice.  It is also
recommended to use the lice comb at least
daily for up to two weeks to be sure no new
eggs have hatched and your student has not
become re-infested.


Below, you will find the directions for a shampoo
that has been effective in helping to remove
head lice safely. 


All Natural Lice Shampoo

1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar  - DO NOT USE WHITE VINEGAR
¼ Cup shampoo – any kind will do

How to use:
Wet hair with warm water
Add 2 ounces of vinegar/shampoo mixture to hair
and massage for 5 minutes – DO NOT RINSE

Add 2 more ounces and massage 5 more minutes. 
DO NOT RINSE

Leave product on hair and scalp for 15 minutes

With shampoo still in the hair, comb through the
hair with any fine tooth comb to assist in removing
the nits that have been released.


Rinse thoroughly with a strong spray of very
warm water. 
The lice and the nits will rinse out


Inspect under bright light

This shampoo does not contain harsh chemicals
and should not harm your child. 


It is recommended that you use this
shampoo mixture
every day until all nits and lice are
removed from the hair.

You may download these instuctions by
going to the  Documents    button on the top left
of this page.

The shampoo and cider vinegar solution helps
to loosen the grip the nits have on the hair shafts
so it will be easier to comb out with the fine, long
tooth comb.  Using the special comb
frequently for the first 3 days and then
at least daily for then next two weeks
is the most effective way of controlling
head lice. 


flask_.jpeg There are countless suggested ways to
rid one of these dreaded infestations.  We ask you
to use a large dose of common sense as you come
across unique suggestions.  Please DO NOT EVER
use a flamable substance on your student's head or
body as a treatment.

What else do we need to do?
 Cleaning Household Items to Get Rid of the Lice
Reinfestation of lice usually does not come from
household items such as carpets or furniture. 

Nothing beats nit picking when it comes to  effectively
removing nits from the hair.

Remember...
*    Off the head, adult lice usually cannot survive
for more than a day or two.  Nits off the hair will
die within hours of hatching if they can't find
a meal (blood).  So, there is no point in cleaning     
every nook and cranny.

*    Pets do not carry human head lice
They do not need any special cleaning.


* Evidence shows that lice sprays are not
  effective in killing lice or nits. They only put
  poisons into the air. Save your money and
  avoid buying lice sprays!


Things to wash in a washing machine:

*    Bath towels
*    Coats
*    Washable rugs, hats and scarves
*    Sheets, blankets, and pillow cases
*    Stuffed animals in contact with head and neck
*     Pillow cases should be washed daily that are used nightly


Wash items using very hot water or dry items in the
dryer using high heat for 30 minutes. The heat will
help kill the lice and nits.


Things to sanitize:

*    Brushes, combs, and special nit loosening combs
*    Barrettes, other hair holders
*    Detachable foam pads inside bike and sport helmets

To sanitize these items, soak the item in 1/4 cup
bleach to 1 quart cold water for one hour.


Things to vacuum:
*    Rugs and carpets
*    Car seats
*    Chairs and couches
*    Pillows from a couch or bed (wash the pillowcases)
*    Bed mattresses
*    Stuffed animals in contact with head and neck

You may download these insturctions by going to
the  Documents  button on the top left of this page.

Another cleaning option:
Items exposed to lice, such as stuffed animals,
should be placed in a plastic bag and closed tightly
for two weeks.  During these two weeks the lice
and nits will not have food (blood) and will die.


    It is very annoying and extremely time consuming
to rid your student and home of nits and lice. 
Comb, Comb, Comb using the special lice comb -
it is the best defense and offense against head lice. 
Rather than think if it as a chore, think of it as an
opportunity to spend time with your son or daughter. 
We are all so busy and  rarely get to spend larger
blocks of time with individual children.

Good luck and don't hesitate to call the health
office if you have further questions.

Health Screening     vision_test.gif


All 9th grade students will be screened
for vision, hearing and scoliosis.  These
screenings will take place during a core class
that all 9th grade students are enrolled in. 
You will only be notified if your student doesn't
pass the screening or if I have a concern.


Scoliosis screening will be completed throughout
the school year. Scoliosis is a side-to-side
curve of the spine. The purpose of this
screening is to recognize, at the earliest
stages, any deviation from normal so that
the need for referral for treatment can be
determined. Scoliosis screening is required
annually by law for school children in the
State of Washington in grades, 5, 7, and 9.

The procedure is a very simple one.
Boys and girls are screened separately.
Each child is given privacy from the other
students. Girls are asked to wear bathing
suits or bras which allow clear visualization
of their spine and musculature. The student
is asked to remove his/her shirt so we are
able to visualize the spine.

You will be informed if your child does not
pass this initial screening. A referral letter
will be sent home for you to take along with
you to your student's physician for follow up
and further evaluation.      

You may refuse screening for your student by
checking one of the exemptions on the scoliosis
exemption form and returning the signed
form to me.

You may download the exemption letter by
choosing the document button on the top left
of this page

Teenagers and Confidentiality

In Washington State, all of health care services offered at a
family planning clinic are considered "confidential." This means
youth of any age can get these services without a parent or
guardian signing a consent form.  Clients are encouraged to
talk with a parent or another trusted adult, if possible,
but only the client decides whom to involve.


Question:
Do I need permission from my parents to use the Public
Health Clinic?


Answer:
NO, you do not need permission from your parents to get the
following services at Public Health:


* Birth Control

* Pregnancy Care (including Prenatal Care)

* STD (sexually transmitted disease) testing and treatment

* Emergency Services (if it is impractical to obtain consent first if needed)

Question:
Will they tell my parents that I came to the clinic?

Answer:
NO, they will not give your parents (or anyone else) any information
about your visit(s) with them.
