Section VHealth & Emergency PoliciesEmergency Information FormAn Emergency Information Form must be completed prior to issuing the student schedules. The school needs current informationon a student’s health conditions and parent/guardian contact information in case of an emergency. To effectively protect thewelfare of students, our school nurse keeps the requested information on file.Emergency & medical treatmentIn case of an injury or illness, the school will make every effort to notify parents or other emergency contacts as designated by theparent/guardian. Depending upon the severity, the paramedics may be called to assist in assessment and on‐site treatment.Parents may meet their student at the school or the hospital if such treatment is deemed advisable. School personnel trained inCPR and first aid, the school nurse, and administrators will make this decision, if necessary. If your student has a chronic or acutehealth condition that might affect them at school, please contact the school nurse so we can work with you.ImmunizationOur goal is that every student in the Nampa School District will be properly immunized for the health of the student, school, andthe community. In accordance with Idaho Code 39‐4801, parents are required to submit a copy of their child’s immunization statusto the school office before enrollment is complete. Exemptions for religious, personal, or medical reasons can be made; forms areavailable from the school nurse. If an outbreak of a contagious disease occurs, students not immunized will be excluded fromschool attendance.InsuranceEven with the greatest precautions and the closest supervision, accidents can and do happen at school. The school district does notprovide medical insurance to automatically pay for medical expenses when students are injured at school. This is the responsibilityof the parent/guardian. Inexpensive student medical insurance is available for individual purchase.
