Information and Forms for Students with Health Concerns and EMPs
Wenatchee School District Nurses
Good health enhances your student's ability to learn. School nursing has grown to meet student need, and involves much more than dispensing hugs and band-aids! Nurses address issues that face our students and assist teachers to enable our students the best learning experience.
School nurses support good health and learning by performing a variety of duties including: direct student care; assessing student health needs; providing inservice training for staff and students; conducting mandatory health screenings; overseeing maintenance of student health and immunization records; administering medication; providing emergency first aid to students and staff; and working with the Department of Health in the control of communicable diseases.
School secretaries support each school and the school nurse by performing such tasks as dispensing medication to students, providing first aid to ill or injured students, and documenting health room activity.
Contact
You may contact nurses at school, or by contacting Pam Stubbe, secretary, at (509)-665-9134 or at stubbe.p@mail.wsd.wednet.edu.
Safety
Keep your student's HEALTH and EMERGENCY INFORMATION updated with current names and telephone numbers by contacting your school.
Student Health Information is updated yearly. Please keep your school nurse updated on your child's health status, such as surgeries, medications, illnesses/diseases, new diagnoses, or other conditions that may affect your child's school performance.
Certain health conditions may require an Individual Health Plan (IHP) for the safety and well being of your child. Please contact your school nurse if you believe your child may benefit from an Individual Health Plan.
Students with potentially life-threatening health conditions
Students with potentially life-threatening health conditions require an Emergency Medical Plan (EMP) to be in place before they may attend school. Please contact your school nurse if you have questions.
Required student immunizations
Washington State requires certain immunizations before children may attend school. Children may get their immunizations from their health care provider or at the Chelan-Douglas County Health Department. Please click here for more information.
Medications
In order to dispense prescription medicine, the school district is required to have an authorization form completed by the prescribing physician and the parent/guardian. Over-the-counter medication requires an authorization form signed by the physician and is for 15 days. A longer authorization can be obtained.
Washington State law provides that students requiring rescue medications may carry and self-administer an inhaler, or Epi-pen, after certain paperwork and training have been accomplished. If you would like more information about this, please contact your school nurse.
