The role of the Aptos High School Health Office is to serve all students by providing treatment and care in support of the student's health and well-being while on campus. The Health Office is located on the backside of the Administration Building (Main Office), and can provide services such as:

Emergency first aid
Health and wellness support services, resources and referrals
Vision and hearing screening
Medical support, referrals and resources
Specialized healthcare procedures per physician recommendations
Support for services and limitations needed per physician's medical orders
Medical record and immunization tracking
Individualized health care plans
Medication administration

IMPORTANT: All students must have an up-to-date Emergency Card on file with the Health Office. A parent/guardian is required to keep the school informed of their student's health related needs.

STUDENT HEALTH CARE PLANS

If your child has an ongoing or temporary medical diagnosis of a health condition, injury or disability which may require medication, limitations, special needs, daily routine health care, emergency first aid, or any other accommodations, please contact the school health office. A health care plan may be developed to help insure the health and safety of your student at school.
All health care plans must be reviewed and updated each school year. Please notify the health office of any changes to your child's current health care.

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL

Medication at school is limited to those students who require medicine during the school day for treatment of a specific health problem. Medications are to be supplied by the parent in a pharmacy bottle or original container labeled with the student's name, name of medication. Correct dosage, as well as the date and amount of original medication in the container.
Medication is stored in the Health Office with the exception of those situations in which a student requires medication on his/her for treatment of emergency medical conditions.
The student’s physician must prescribe medication. Non-prescription medications must also be authorized by the student's physician. The parent and physician must complete and sign the consent and authorization form #H-6, "Parent/Physician Request for Administration of Prescribed Medication".
Medications that continue into a new school year require written re-authorization by parent and physician each school year. If your child is currently raking medication at school, please pick up all unused medication by the last day of school.
Medication consent forms are available in the school health office
