Students in the Edgewood City School District are served by a District School Nurse and a Health Specialist in each building. Nursing services include: maintaining immunization status; providing daily care to ill or injured students along with emergency care and treatments for students with health impairments; providing vision and hearing screenings to all students in grades K, 1, 3, 7(vision only) and 9 and all new students to the district; performing scoliosis screenings to all 6th and 7th graders; providing routine head lice screenings in all elementary buildings; and promoting health education in the classrooms. If you have any questions regarding health concerns, contact your building nurse.
MEDICATION
If your child is on medication, please make sure an adult transports all medication to and from school. All prescription and nonprescription medications(such as Tylenol, Advil, cough drops, etc.) require completion of a school medication permit signed by parent/guardian and contained in an original container labeled with the student's name. You will find a link to our printable Medication Permit Form (on the left side of this page). This form must be completed each year for prescription and non-prescription medications by both parent and physician.
