assisting with health screenings
reviewing student health records
working with physicians and parents to develop Section 504 Health Plans

serving as a resource to the school and community
Emergency Procedures
When a child is injured or becomes ill while at school, the school nurse's office will evaluate the child's condition and notify the parent or guardian as soon as possible.
In cases needing emergency care, the parent will decide what physician will treat the child and whether to pick up the child at school or to contact emergency transportation to carry the child to a designated hospital where the parent will meet the child. If the parent or guardian cannot be reached and the student requires emergency medical care that is not available from school personnel, emergency services will be contacted. The child will be transported to the nearest emergency hospital, the Methodist Medical Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
