STUDENT HEALTH: Rolling Hills has a Health Attendant to take care of first aid and emergencies. In case of student illness at school, the health attendant will notify parents or the emergency contact listed on the enrollment form. No registered nursing services are provided at the school on a daily basis.KEEPING EVERYONE HEALTHY: Please remember that PUSD Guidelines state that your child must be fever- and vomit-free for 24 hours before returning to school. Students with Upper Respiratory Infections common symptoms: persistent nasal discharge that is purulent or discolored, productive cough, excessive coughing or appears to be too ill or uncomfortable to adequately function in classroom setting should stay home until no symptoms for 24 hours or a written medical release is obtained.
MEDICATION: Both prescription and nonprescription medications require a written statement (Authorization for Medication Administration form # H-26) from the parent/guardian and physician indicating a desire for school personnel assist the student as set forth in the physician’s statement. Forms are available on the district website PUSD Health Services. (See link below) This Policy is to ensure the safety for all of our students. See more information RHES Medication Procedures page.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this medication policy, please feel free to call the school office. NOTE: Sunscreen, cough drops, lip balms, etc. must also have a note from the parent on file and be kept in the health office to be monitored by school personnel.
