RMS Health Clinic

Clinic Procedures

The school clinic is located in the main office. The clinic provides services for the injured seriously ill. Because of limited space and service personnel, it cannot serve as a refuge for students with headaches, exhaustion, or other such maladies. We therefore ask parents to assume responsibility for taking students home who are too ill to remain in the classroom. Students who have been injured, who obviously are in distress or show symptoms of being seriously ill are directed to first-aid attention in the clinic. All others remain in class until their parents pick them up.

Medication Policy

No medication, including aspirin, can be administered at school. If a student has a medical prescription to be taken during school hours, the medication should be checked at the office. The student will then be given permission to take the medicine. The Broward County Public Schools Authorization Medication form is required to be on file in the school. This form is available in the Student Services office.
