Edwardsburg Public Schools employ one full time nurse for the Edwardsburg school district who is on call for all buildings.  A Health Aide or Administrative Assistant at each building distributes medication and provides basic first aid.

If your child has an accident or becomes ill at school (vomiting, unusual rash or temperature 100 degrees or higher) you will be notified.  Please be sure to always have your emergency numbers up-to-date so we are able to reach you or a person you designate.

  Medication will be given at school only if students are unable to attend classes without a dosage during school hours.  Students are forbidden to possess, use, or transfer any over-the-counter or prescription medication.  All medicines will be kept in a designated locked area and administered by authorized school personnel.  Medications to be given at school, including over the counter medication (Tylenol, cough syrup, etc.) must be accompanied by a signed physician’s order and written permission of parents.  Medications must be in the original container with the student’s name clearly marked.  All medications must be delivered to the office by the parent or legal guardian, unless special arrangements have been made with the principal.  Please, do not place our children in the dangerous position of having medication in their possession.

 If your child has special health needs, please be sure to notify school staff.  We will do all we can to accommodate your child.

Sincerely,

Brenda Breslin, RN
