Info

MEDICATION With parent’s advance written permission, students may be given non-prescription medication during the school day to treat mild conditions such as headache, menstrual cramps or a sore throat. A medical evaluation will be requested if a student requires non-prescription medication more than three times per month for the same symptom. Students with diagnosed medical conditions may need emergency medication during the school day. These medications are kept locked in the health department, together with the student’s name, class, condition and dosage. A parental permission slip is required along with these medications authorizing their use. If a short-term illness requires the use of antibiotics or other prescription drugs, the parents should, if possible, arrange for such medication to be taken before or after school. STUDENTS AND MEDICATION If medication must be given during school hours, it must be labelled with the student’s name, the amount to be given, the time it is to be given and we require a parent’s signature giving permission. The medication will be kept in the health department. The nurses will assist in giving the student the medication. Please be aware Lower and Middle <strong>School</strong> students are not permitted to carry their own medication in school or during school trips. In special circumstances please contact the school nurse. EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE Accidents: In the event of an accident, the parents will be notified, and if needed an ambulance will be called. If treatment is necessary but it is not an emergency, parents will be called upon to take the student for medical care. ILLNESSES In the event of severe illness the nurse will notify the head of school’s office and the parents. Parents are required to make arrangements to transport the child to their physician for treatment. If, however, the illness is so severe that there is not sufficient time for the parents to come to the school, an ambulance will be called and the student will normally be taken to the nearest hospital. Bayerische Landesunfallkasse, Ungerstrasse 71, 80805 München An accident report will be filled out by the health department. It is important that parents cooperate in providing information for the report at the earliest time possible. In the case of hospitalization, the German statutory accident insurance covers regular hospital accommodation and medical care. The doctor or the hospital should always be informed by the parents that it was a school related accident. EXCLUDING A STUDENT FROM SCHOOL Sick students should be kept home for a number of reasons. Attending school when sick can lead to the illness worsening, an increase in recovery time and spreading to others in the building. Regardless of the illness type, a sick student will always need rest. A sick student exposes all staff and students he/she may come into contact with his/her illness. Therefore it is the parents’ responsibility to take their sick child home. If the parents cannot be reached, there must be an emergency contact person who is able to take a sick student home. 51
The following are the school health guidelines for excluding a student from school: • Temperature of 37.5°C or above • Nausea, vomiting or severe abdominal pain • Diarrhoea • Acute cold, sore throat, persistent cough • Red inflamed, or discharging eyes • Acute skin rashes or eruptions • Suspected scabies or impetigo • Swollen glands around jaws ears or neck • Earache • Any weeping skin lesions unless protected and diagnosed as non-infectious • Head lice • Other symptoms of severe illness No student is permitted to leave the school on account of sickness without contacting the health department. EXCLUDING A STUDENT FROM ACTIVITIES (PHYSICAL EDUCATION) If for some reason, (illness or physical disability) a student cannot participate in physical education activities, he/she must bring a doctors or parents note to school stating the condition and length of time the student is excused from this activity. The nurse will only issue such excuses under very special circumstances. STUDENT RETURNING AFTER AN ILLNESS Please report any infectious conditions such as chicken pox, infectious diarrhoea, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, impetigo, meningitis, mononucleosis/glandular fever, or hepatitis, before the student returns to school. Students with these conditions should return with a doctor’s note stating they are not longer contagious, or stating which special precautions must be taken. Students with Head Lice should not attend school until they are effectively treated. They should return with a doctor’s note stating they are lice free. This procedure is necessary to ensure the health of the others in school. WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A SCHOOL ACCIDENT Any student, who is accidentally injured while at school, coming to or from school or on an official school field trip, will be covered by the German statutory accident insurance system. It provides insurance against occupational and commuting accidents, and against occupational diseases. Besides employees, trainees or other groups of persons are also insured, including school children, students at vocational colleges and other institutes of higher education, also children in nursery schools and after-school care centers. <strong>School</strong> accidents are defined as accidents suffered by children or students in their educational establishments. They include accidents suffered by children or young people whilst attending schools, nursery schools, after-school care centers or vocational colleges; or whilst under supervision by such educational establishments or in association with them immediately prior to or following lessons. This category of accidents also includes those suffered by students during education and training at institutes of higher education. 52
