Greetings from the Nurse’s Clinic!
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome the start of the 2024/2025 school year! I am available by phone, email, or in person to answer any questions related to your students' health and wellness while they are at GHS.
Below are links to important forms and answers to some commonly asked questions.
Health Forms
All district wide health forms are available on our website. A direct link to those forms is available by clicking this link: Health Forms
Physicals
In order to participate in athletics at GHS, students must have an up-to-date physical on file (within the past 2 years). You may use the district’s Physical Form or your doctor may send in a letter. This communication can be mailed, emailed, or faxed back to GHS. If you send the communication to me, I will share the information with our Athletics department.
Medications
ACETAMINOPHEN and IBUPROFEN- Each year we are required to obtain consent for giving out over the counter medications. These medications will NOT be administered prior to written consent. The form can be found here: OTC Form
If your student needs to take daily or as needed medication, at school, during the 2024-2025 school year you will need to drop off those medications to the Nurse prior to the start of school starting. Please email me to set up a time to drop off medication. Your child's medical provider must also complete and sign an order for that medication to be dispensed. Medication MUST be in a pharmacy labeled bottle. Your provider may use this form: Request for School Personnel to Administer Medication or the order can be on their letterhead.
If your student has Asthma and will carry an inhaler (or you prefer to keep one in the clinic), they must have an Asthma Action Plan on file. This plan needs to be signed ANNUALLY by your physician.
If your student has allergies or another diagnosis that may require the use of emergency medications (i.e. epinephrine auto-injector or seizure medication) please have the appropriate plan on file. This plan needs to be signed ANNUALLY by your physician.
Warmly,
Carlye Homan, BSN RN
