Should your child become ill in school, the nurse will notify you or your designee. PLEASE BE SURE THE NURSE HAS CURRENT AND ACCURATE EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS. Accidents In case of an accident or injury the school nurse will use appropriate first aid and call you. Special Medical Needs If your child has a special need such as asthma, diabetes, or other condition, we strongly encourage you to discuss this with the nurse so that we can help your child adapt to the school day. Medication Procedure Your child may be required to take medication in school during the year. We must have written permission from the parents and written medical directions from the physician. The nurse will only dispense medication from a pharmacy-prepared container.
CLOSING OF SCHOOL IN EMERGENCIES & DELAYED OPENINGS The regular school day is from 9:10 AM to 3:20 PM. Buses usually leave by 3:25 PM. On inclement days, you will receive a telephone call through the district’s telephone routing system, advising you about a delayed opening or school closing. Another valuable resource is the district web site, www.hhh.k12.ny.us, or, local radio and/or television stations. Please note that on days when we do have a delayed opening, there is no early morning program; please do not drop your child off before 11:10 AM, since there is no one here to supervise them.
