Health Center and Medical Procedures
To contact the Health Center, please email nurse@tasisengland.org or call 01932 582353.
TASIS England has a team of nurses located in the Health Center next to Thorpe House on the North Campus. The Health Center is open daily at announced times, and the nurses are available to treat any injuries and illnesses which occur during the school day. A fully equipped hospital is within a ten-minute drive from the School.
The school nurse may be used as a resource to discuss a child’s health, make home contact, and counsel children privately.
LOWER SCHOOL PROCEDURE
If a Lower School student becomes ill during the day, he/she will be brought to the Health Center or the Lower School Office. The parents/guardians/emergency contact will be contacted once the nurse has made an assessment of the student’s condition. At this time the student will either be allowed a period of rest, he or she will be treated, and/or parents will be asked to collect the student.
Please Note: No student will be allowed home without confirmation that a responsible adult will be present.
DAY STUDENT MEDICATIONS
Parents of day students who bring medication to school are required to complete a form to identify the medication, explain the need and expected duration of the treatment. All medications must be dispensed by the nurses in the Health Center. Students should not store any medications in their backpacks or self-administer any medications, prescription or otherwise. Medication needs to be in the original package where the name of medication, dose, and expiry dates are all clearly readable.
The policies in this handbook are current at the time of printing. Any changes to policies will be updated on the School Policies section of the website (www.tasisengland.org/schoolpolicies).
