CLINIC Information

The goal of the Johns Creek Elementary clinic is to enhance the academic success and well being of each student through the joint efforts of home, school, and community.

The clinic is open for students from 7:30am-3:30 pm on school days. The nurse contributes to the education of the child with special health needs by assessing the child, planning & providing appropriate nursing care, and evaluating the identified outcomes of care. The nurse also monitors medical treatments and/or medications given to the student while attending school.

Important Clinic Information

Students are able to access the clinic during their school day by requesting a clinic form from their teacher if they are ill or injured. If your child was seen during their school day, a copy of the clinic referral slip will be in their bookbag giving details of their visit.

STUDENTS WILL BE SENT HOME:

• If their temperature is 100.4 or higher

• If they are actively vomiting

• If they have diarrhea

• If they need to be seen by a physician
