Health & Wellness

Academic success is strongly linked with student health. We encourage healthy behaviors and provide health supports to students in the Linus Pauling Health Room, located in the main office at the front entrance of the building. If you have concerns about your student's health and well-being, please contact our main office to learn about local resources.

Student Health and Wellness

We are committed to a healthy school environment. Students should be up-to-date on immunizations and stay home if they are ill. Parents/guardians are required to complete the required forms for any medication that a student takes to school.

Health Room

The Health Room is located adjacent to the front office and is available to students who feel ill or have a minor injury. It is also the location where students are administered medications under adult supervision.  Any medication at school, including over-the-counter medication, must be accompanied by a Medication Permission and Administration Form completed by a parent or guardian. Forms are available in the school office.

If a student becomes ill at school, they should notify the nearest teacher or supervising adult. Students will be admitted to the health room to determine if they are feeling better or if they need to go home. If the parent/guardian is not available by phone, we will call those listed as emergency contacts on the student’s emergency/information card so that they may be taken home.
