The Health Office is located on the eighth floor of the Lower School.
It remains open the entire school day. Students who feel ill, are injured
or require any medical assistance go to the school nurse.
MEDICAL AND EMERGENCY FORMS
All incoming as well as returning students must submit the Ramaz School
Health Record, Ramaz School Dental Record and Emergency Authorization
Form
every year. These forms must be received by the Health Office
prior to the start of the school year.
Any student without a current
Health, Dental or Emergency Authorization Form on file in the Health Office
will not be permitted to attend school until such forms are received.
MEDICATIONS
If a student must take prescription medication during school, the Health
Office must have the
original bottle with the student's name and doctor's
instructions on it. Only the nurse may dispense prescription medication
in school.
Over-the-counter medicines will be given only if the parent has indentified
the medicine on the student's School Health Record.
Students who have medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or allergies
that require using an inhaler, insulin or anti-histamine are advised to
keep an extra supply of medication in the Health Office.
ALLERGIES
Parents of students with severe allergies must complete the separate form, "Protocol for Students with Life-Threatening Allergies" and return it to the Health Office prior to the start of school. Parents must provide the nurse with their child's appropriate medication(s) and instructions for treatment. The Health Office must be notified when a child is no longer suffering from an allergy.
LICE CHECKS
Lice checks are mandatory before returning to school after summer, winter
and Passover vacations. Lice checks are performed at Ramaz by a professional
service and the school nurse.
