Canyon Crest Academy

The Health Technician takes care of first aid and emergencies.  In the case of student illness at school, the Health Technician will notify parents or the emergency contact listed on the Emergency Contact Form.  No registered nursing services are provided at the school on a daily basis.  The school does not supply medications of any kind.

 

Please let the Health Technician know if your student has a life-threatening illness such as diabetes, seizure disorders, or severe allergies (bees/food).  We want to be prepared to provide safe care for your student(s).  Please be advised that there are no emergency medications at the school; parents are responsible for providing emergency medications including, Epipens, Benadryl (or other), insulin, Baqsimi and Valtoco.  If no supplies are provided for your student, we will call 911 whenever there is a concern.

 

Please keep students home for 24 hours:

All medications, prescription, and over-the-counter medications require an Authorization for Medication Administration form to be completed by both parent and physician. For students with emergency medications such as Epi-pens/Auvi-Q, and inhalers, please complete the Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan English/Spanish. For students with Diabetes, please bring a Diabetic Plan for the current school year, signed by the doctor.  A Seizure Action Plan English/Spanish  is also required each school year signed by a physician. All Key Forms are below.

 

All medication brought to school to be administered to the student must be in its original prescription container or for over-the-counter medications in its original manufacturer's unopened container, clearly marked with the student's name, the prescribing physician, the medication, route, dosage, purpose, and pharmacy.

Emergency Information is kept in the Health Office and on the computer,  that allows us to contact you in case of an emergency or illness.  Please feel free anytime to contact the Health Office with updated information.  It is very important to have current phone numbers.  We ask parents to update contact and medical information if it changes throughout the year.

 

For the safety of students, the school will not release a student to a person who is not listed on their Emergency Card.  Photo ID of the person to whom the student is released may be required.  If for some reason, an individual is authorized by you to pick up your student, please phone the health office in advance and provide the school with all the pertinent information.
