Abraxas has a Health Technician to take care of first aid and emergencies. In case of student illness at school, the Health Technician will notify parents or the emergency contact listed on the enrollment form. No registered nursing services are provided at the school on a daily basis.

 

Please let the Health Office know if your child has a life threatening illness such as diabetes, seizure disorders, or sever allergies (Bees/Food). We want to be prepared to provide safe care for your child. Please be advised that there are no emergency medications at the school. Our only option is to call 911 if there is ever a concern.

 

To enable us to provide safe care for your child at school, please submit (if applicable) the required, completed form(s): Diabetic Management Plan or Life Threatening Allergy Plan (H-58); and/or

Authorization to Carry Medication While at School (H-26B), along with prescribed medications.
