| The Okaloosa County School
Health Services Program provides a full time nurse at Fort
Walton Beach High School. The Nurse provides emergency care
and services, administers regularly scheduled medications,
and performs health screening procedures as needed. A
student who is unable to continue in a class due to illness
should report to the Nurse in the Clinic, located between
Attendance and the front of the building. |

EMERGENCY CONTACTS
It is imperative that parents fill out an Emergency Contact
Card at the beginning of each school year. One is sent home
with every student at the beginning of the school year.
This provides our school officials with valuable information
regarding a student’s physical and academic special needs,
as well as information regarding who to contact in an
emergency situation. Contact Cards should be turned into
the WAVE advisor or school nurse. |

| MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION
Medications for headaches, upset
stomach or other ailments must be provided by
parents/guardians of the student. All medications to be
administered must meet the following conditions:
- An Administration of
Medication In the School Permission form must be filled
out and signed by the responsible party for the
student. These may be obtained from the Nurse, or from
the Guidance Department, and must be turned in to the
Nurse at the time that the medication is brought to
school.
- All Medication is to be
in the original container or a pharmacy labeled
container. They must have the name of the student, name
of the drug, dosage and administration times clearly
indicated on the label. Medications are received and
stored under locked conditions in the Clinic.
- When it is necessary for
a student to keep medications with them at all times,
(i.e. inhalers, enzymes, or Epipens) physician’s order
stating such must be obtained and kept with the
Administration of Medications In the Schools form in the
nurse’s office (clinic area).
- It is the responsibility
of the student to report to the clinic at the
appropriate time to take regularly scheduled
medications.
- Students participating
in a school sponsored trip should provide a separate
Administration of Medications in the Schools form and
appropriately labeled medications to the trip sponsor.
