Health Room Procedures 

Currently, administration is working with the nursing office to develop a triage protocol. A protocol will ensure students' concerns are handled appropriately and along with protecting instruction time. Until the protocol is ready to implement, below are items to review and follow until further notice.

• No students should be sent to the Nurses office during passing period.
• When a student is sent to receive care, a blue pass must be filled out by the teacher that contains the teacher’s name, students name, reason to be seen and a time the student left the classroom.
