Health Services

Eastbrook Community Schools provides students with a school nurse to administer medications, care for acute illness or injury during school hours, and accommodate students with medical conditions as needed. If you have specific requests on concerns regarding your student, please reach out to the nurse at your student’s school. These will need to be updated and signed for EACH school year.

Care plans are required for students with certain health conditions. These are to be updated each school year prior to the start of school. Some care plans will need to be signed by your child’s doctor. These documents will be available at school clinics and online.

If your child has MEDICATIONS TO BE GIVEN AT SCHOOL, there is a medication admin form that needs to be filled out for each medication with specific instructions. Medications must be provided in original prescription bottles with your child’s name. If there is an OTC medication to be given, we must have a doctor’s order to administer.

If your child has SEIZURES/EPILEPSY, they will need a seizure action plan. This will be filled out by a physician. If there are any changes in activity, please keep the nurse updated.
