Contact with K-12 SchoolsStudent Health and Wellness Services does not initiate contact with K-12 schools.The college nurse may be contacted by a K-12 school nurse or health clerk when aK-12 student with an existing health problem will be on campus in concurrentlyenrolled classes or as a visitor through outreach activity (8 th Grade Visitation Day).This contact is infrequent, and usually consists of providing support through use ofwheelchairs or crutches, or administering minor First Aid. There are also infrequenttimes when a concurrently enrolled student will have an active Specialized PhysicalHealth Care procedure (diabetic protocol, anaphylaxis prevention protocol, etc.)and the college nurse will be consulted by the district school nurse.On a more frequent basis, Student Health and Wellness Services is approached bystudents enrolled in College Connection – a 12 th grade concurrent enrollmentprogram on the college campus, administered by the Shasta Union High SchoolDistrict.
