Students will be sent to the health care coordinator by their teacher if they  become ill or have been involved in an accident that results in an injury. The health care coordinator will then provide first aid for these cases. If the student needs to be sent home for additional care, the health care coordinator will contact the parents.

The health care coordinator will distribute medication to students only with the written consent of parents and written orders from a physician. Aspirin or other non-prescription medicines will not be given without written consent of parents.

All medications must be sent to school in the original container identifying the student, the medication, and instructions as directed by the physician, and accompanied by a written note signed by the parent.

Telehealth

The school district of Auburndale is able to provide health services via a link with the Marshfield Clinic.  Students can be seen by medical professionals in Marshfield without leaving the district via a direct audio/visual link with the clinic.  Parents, or their insurance provider, will be billed just as with an office visit.  The district will contact parents before any link is initiated.  Call the health care coordinator with your questions as other clinic services, such as rechecks and counseling are also available.
