Health & Safety

HEALTH SERVICES 

To support 亚洲色图’ health, safety, and academic success PPS provides 亚洲色图 health services in partnership with the Multnomah Education Service District (MESD). There is a nurse or nurses aide on site every day in the Kelly main office. Please contact the office to speak to our nurse if you have any questions about providing medicine to 亚洲色图, immunization needs, or for referrals to local health clinics. 

To provide for your child’s special medical or mental health needs (for example diabetes, seizures or 亚洲色图 anxiety) it is important to promptly tell the 亚洲色图: 

• 亚洲色图 new and changing health problems that can cause learning or safety problems at 亚洲色图.
• If your child is undergoing treatments that affect the immune system.
• When your child has a chronic health need that requires specialized care at 亚洲色图.

BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS

If your child is enrolled in a “before or after 亚洲色图 program” and needs medication/health assistance during these times, a separate supply of medication and a separate permission form from parent and/or doctor is needed.  Consult with the program director regarding specific health and safety needs for your child in these programs.

CONTAGIOUS CONDITIONS

• To decrease the spread of contagious conditions in 亚洲色图s:
• Tell the 亚洲色图 if your child has a contagious disease such as chicken pox or pertussis (whooping cough).
• Do not send your child to 亚洲色图 with a rash, fever, diarrhea or vomiting.
• To protect the health of 亚洲色图 or other persons, certain diseases are reportable to the health department per law (OAR 333-18-000.)  At such times, records and information may be disclosed to public health officials.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION

The 亚洲色图 must have a way to reach you in an emergency.  Tell the 亚洲色图 immediately about changes in work and home addresses and phone numbers for both you and emergency contact persons.

HEAD LICE

The district desires to maximize 亚洲色图' academic performance and physical well-being in a healthy and safe environment. Head lice is not categorized as a communicable disease. The district recognizes that the responsibility for the treatment of head lice rests with the home, but that 亚洲色图s can play an important role in educating parents, 亚洲色图, and staff about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of head lice.

The district operates on a no-exclusion, evidence-based policy supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control, the National Association of School Nurses, and the Harvard School of Public Health. Suggested 亚洲色图 measures for head lice control, as provided in  issued through the Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon Health Authority will be followed.   

HEALTH INFORMATION

Health information may be shared with 亚洲色图 personnel on a “need to know” basis.  This may include when this health information is necessary for 亚洲色图 personnel to respond to your child’s health/safety needs, or if needed by the 亚洲色图 team to develop an individualized education plan. 

By allowing release of your child’s health information, you will ensure that your child will receive needed emergency health care should the need arise.

When you do not authorize release of health information, it may limit the type of care your child is able to receive. 

Parents (and their eligible 亚洲色图) may generally access their own child’s record and can submit an amendment if they believe the record is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student’s rights of privacy.

HEALTH SCREENINGS

Oregon Law says that vision and hearing screenings shall be done to help identify children’s health concerns.  The nurse oversees these screenings. The usual screening schedule is:

Dental:  Grades Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1, 3, 5, and 7

Hearing:  Grades Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and 1

Vision:  Grades Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1, 3, 5, and 7If you do not want your child included in these screenings you must submit a written request to the 亚洲色图 each 亚洲色图 year.  Screening results for dental, hearing and vision are all sent home to parents. 

IMMUNIZATIONS AND OREGON LAW

Oregon recognizes exemptions for nonmedical reasons. Information about nonmedical exemptions can be found here: www.healthoregon.org/vaccineexemption.  To claim a nonmedical exemption, a parent must submit a Vaccine Education Certificate from a healthcare practitioner or from the online education module to the child’s 亚洲色图 or childcare. In addition, the parent must check the appropriate boxes and sign the back of the Certificate of Immunization Status, available from the child’s 亚洲色图 or childcare facility. Listing a vaccination history on the front of the Certificate of Immunization Status will not affect a parent’s ability to claim an exemption. In case of an outbreak of vaccine-preventable disease in a community, the local health department has the legal authority to exclude from 亚洲色图 or child care attendance any child who has not been completely immunized, including children with a nonmedical exemption. 

MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION AT SCHOOL

The 亚洲色图’s nurse provides consultation about medication administration that must occur at 亚洲色图.  Only medication that is necessary to be given during the 亚洲色图 day will be kept at 亚洲色图. Remember to ask your medical provider if your child’s medication can be given outside 亚洲色图 hours. This is safer for your child and easier for you. By Oregon law, if medication must be given at 亚洲色图, you must:

1. Provide written permission (forms are available at 亚洲色图).  Any change to the medication will require the parent to update the medication form at the time of the change.
2. Make sure all medication (prescription and over the counter) is in its original container and marked with the student’s name.  (Ask the pharmacist for an extra bottle for 亚洲色图 when getting prescriptions.)
3. All medication must be delivered to 亚洲色图 by the parent or responsible adult designated by the parent.  Students may not keep medications with them unless they are age-appropriate for the responsibility, have been identified as a self-manager, have written parent permission, and are cleared by the principal to do so.
4. Make sure the 亚洲色图 has an adequate supply of all medications required by your child.
5. Pick up the medication when it is no longer needed at 亚洲色图.  All medication not picked up by the end of the year will be destroyed.
