H1N1 Flu: For information about the 2009 H1N1 flu, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has prepared this downloadable brochure titled 2009 H1N1 Flu & You.

Emergency Care: In the event of a medical emergency, "911" will be called and every effort will be made to contact the student's parent.

Screenings: Princeton Academy will conduct annual vision and hearing screenings for all students as well as scoliosis for 5th and 7th graders if not provided by the physician or unless requested otherwise by the child's parent/guardian.

Medication: All medications are dispensed from a cabinet in the Health Office by the school nurse. Medication must be in its original pharmacy bottle, clearly labeled with the student's name and directions for dispensing. A written request from the healthcare professional with the diagnosis, name of the drug, dose, time, and side effects, as well as a note from the parent/guardian requesting the medication administration must be provided. Only students requiring epi-pens or inhalers may carry these medications once they are old enough to self-administer. A new doctor's order and parent permission form must be on file in the Health Office each school year.

Communicable Disease: If the student has a communicable disease such as chicken pox, mononucleosis, strep throat, pertussis, etc., please advise the nurse. Students are excluded from school if their temperature is higher than 100.0 degrees F, if they have an episode of diarrhea, or if they have pink eye with discharge. They must be free of fever, diarrhea, or eye discharge for 24 hours before they may return to school. If antibiotics are required, the child will be permitted back in school after 24 hours of antibiotic treatment. If lice or nits are found on your child, parents must treat the scalp with the treatment recommended by their pediatrician, and see the school nurse before re-entering the classroom the next day. The nurse will notify the class parents of the occurrence so they may monitor their child for the next two weeks.
