Everyone Contributes to a Healthy School!
We hope you all had a healthy summer! Park City School District has three school nurses that oversee the health concerns of the 8 schools. We are not at each school daily.

As we start a new school year, here are some very important back to school reminders:

• Utah state law requires all students who carry and administer their own asthma inhalers to have an asthma Self-Administration form on file at the school. Forms need to be signed by the parents and the health care provider each school year, and then brought to the school secretary. All inhalers must be labeled with the student’s name.
• Utah state law requires all students who carry and administer their own Epinephrine Auto injector must have an Epinephrine Auto Injector Authorization form on file at the school. Forms are to be completed and signed by the parents and the health care provider annually and brought to the school secretary. All epi pens must be labeled with the student’s name.
• In accordance with the requirements of Utah Law the district nurses will conduct vision screenings for grades pre K, K, 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 special education, and referrals. The results of the vision screening may be shared with other educators and healthcare professionals to provide appropriate services. If your student does not pass the screening, a referral will be sent in the mail. Please inform the school with a written note if you do not want your student vision screened. If your child is absent on screening day please contact the school nurse to set appointment for the screening.
• Students cannot carry prescription medication on their person. Students in grades 8-12 may carry 1 day supply of non-prescription medication for personal use only- which must be in original container. All medications administered at school must have a district medication form signed by parent and prescribing doctor with accurate medication name and dose. Medication and form must be brought to front office by parent. Forms can be accessed on line at www.pcschools.us under health services.
• If your student has a health concern that may impact his or her learning, please notify your school nurse. It is the parent/ guardian responsibility to inform their student’s teachers/specialists of all medical concerns.
• Scoliosis screenings are done in PE classes for 7th and 8th grade students. If there is a concern about your student’s posture you will receive a letter recommending evaluation by your healthcare provider. If you do not want your child screened send a note on screening days. If your student is absent on screening dates please contact your school nurse to schedule a screening.
• The Park City School web site has a “Health Services” section, located under “Departments”, with information about school district forms, community programs, services, and links to information web sites. You access the site at: www.pcschools.us
