Health Specific Guidelines for Excluding Students
Providence Hall Charter School does not provide health insurance or medical insurance coverage for students. The responsibility for ensuring students have medical insurance rests with students’ parents/guardians. Insurance policies may be purchased by parents/guardians for students in the private insurance marketplace.
Providence Hall Elementary has a registered nurse on staff full time. The nurse oversees the medical needs of the students and ensures all student health needs are being met.
Providence Hall has a registered full time nurse who splits time between the Junior High and High School campuses. The nurse oversees the medical needs of the students and ensures all student health needs are being met at both campuses.
Medication can be administered at school under the following conditions:
School Medication Authorization Form
If your student has individual health concerns or allergy needs please contact the school nurse to discuss an Individual Health Plan (IHP) for your student. Diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, and similar conditions, which could require emergency treatment, should be brought to the attention of school personnel immediately and in the online registration and information update completed in Skyward at the beginning of each school year. This information is important for the safety of your child.
Parents/guardians are responsible for providing allergy/health appropriate food or snacks for their child during class parties or other events at school.
Allergy & Anaphylaxis Action Plan
Please ensure you have the names, phone numbers, and addresses of individuals who should be contacted in an emergency are updated when you complete the online registration and information update completed in Skyward at the beginning of each school year. Update this information promptly if it changes at any time by contacting the front office.
All accidents on campus are to be reported to the office where immediate care can be arranged. Students injured at school are not to leave school without contacting parents/guardians and receiving proper administrative authorization. Schools cannot release any student unless a parent/guardian is contacted. If a student becomes ill, (s)he should report to the office for assistance.
Students and parents/guardians may expect these procedures to be followed in the event of an accident at school:
The State of Utah mandates periodic vision screenings. Providence Hall routinely conducts vision and hearing screenings. Notification is sent home prior to a screening. Screenings are also conducted for special education students and upon teacher or parent/guardian request. A parent/guardian at any time may request that their child be exempt from the screenings.
