{ 78 } HEALTH CLINIC Patricia Lema, Nurse x248 ACCIDENTS Any accident/injury in a School building, on the School property, at athletic practices, or at any athletic event sponsored by the School must be reported to the person in charge immediately. Students should not assume that someone in authority knows there was an accident or injury. ANIMAL POLICY Due to concerns about the health, safety, and welfare of people in the School community, no animals are allowed on School property or at School-related events. HEALTH FORMS All Health Forms are required to be completed online using the Magnus Health Portal by July 15. State law requires all students have a current Florida Certificate of Immunization form or an immunization waiver signed by a physician on file to attend school. Students will not be able to participate in school sports until all health forms and FHSAA forms are complete, up-to-date, and uploaded to the Magnus Health Portal. All students are required to have a yearly physical examination. Students whose physical's are expired and not completed by the first day of school will be sent home until a new physical is turned in. If the student's health status changes, it is the responsibility of the parent to communicate all changes with the School nurse and update the information on Magnus Health Portal. HEALTH CARE AND IMMUNIZATIONS Prior to the beginning of School, a physical examination must be completed or transferred for each student entering the School. In addition, immunization or a certificate of waiver is required for all students.

Students may not attend School without an appropriate immunization record (this includes, without limitation, a current immunization record, in accordance with state requirements, at all times) or valid waiver. CLINIC e clinic is located in room 114. Students who feel ill or are injured will be seen by the School Nurse. Students not feeling well may rest for one period in the clinic, but after that time they must either return to class or go home. Time spent in the clinic is counted as an absence from the class. Students who return to School after an extended illness or surgery or who may not participate in sports or gym classes following an extended illness or surgery require a physician's statement confirming the student's ability to return to School and any necessary limitations or restrictions. Parents are responsible for informing the School nurse of any changes in their child's medications, health status, behavior, family dynamics or other factors that may affect their child's well-being during the school day. In addition, parents must immediately contact the School Nurse or School Counselor about behavior, comments, or other concerns that potentially evidence that their child could harm himself or any other individual.
