Health Room

Health Room at St. Anthony School 

St. Anthony School provides a dedicated Health Room to support the well-being of our students during the school day. The Health Room Coordinator is available to care for students who become ill or injured and will contact parents or guardians if a student needs to go home.

 

All medications are administered through the Health Room. For the safety of all students, medications should never be sent to school with your child without prior coordination with the Health Room Coordinator.

In addition to daily health support, the Coordinator oversees routine health screenings and conducts emergency drills to ensure our campus remains prepared and safe. As part of our disaster readiness plan, a fully stocked disaster supply container is maintained on school grounds.

 

Healthy Students Make Better Learners!

 

To help maintain a healthy school environment, we ask that you keep your child home if they are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

 

  • Fever of 100°F or higher

  • Fever within the past 24 hours

  • Persistent or severe cold symptoms

  • Frequent or severe coughing

  • Vomiting within the past 24 hours

  • Loose or watery stools

  • Head lice or visible nits

  • Drainage from the ears or eyes

  • Red or inflamed eyes or eyelids

  • Use of antibiotics for less than 24 hours

  • Unexplained rash

If a child arrives at school with any of these symptoms or develops them during the school day, parents or guardians will be contacted and asked to pick up their child promptly.

 

Children with contagious illnesses should remain at home until they are no longer considered contagious. Please consult our Communicable Disease Policy for detailed guidance.

 

We also ask that parents notify the school immediately if a child is diagnosed with a contagious condition, so we can take appropriate steps to inform and protect our school community.
