PEMS Student Handbook 2025-2026

Health Services Nurse Visits Health Excusal Medication All students who become ill or injured during the school day should report to the school nurse. Students require to pass to report to the nurse. ONLY THE NURSE may determine if the student should go home. If a student is ill enough to be sent home, the nurse will call the parent/guardian to inform him/her of the student’s condition. A student calling/texting requesting to be picked up early does not qualify as an excused dismissal. Upon leaving, the student must be signed out in the office. It may be necessary at times for a student to take medication during the school day. The student must have a PHYSICIAN’S MEDICATION ORDER FORM filled out by the doctor prescribing the drug and a copy of this form must be on file with the nurse. This includes all over the counter and prescription medications. The medication must be kept with the nurse, not on the students’ person. All medications must be provided by the parent, not sent with the student. Students are not permitted to carry medications. Counselors and our student advisor provide services which include, but are not limited to, academic guidance, behavioral counseling, peer relationship issues, mentoring and crisis intervention. They also advise and link students and parents to appropriate community support and services. Our counselors will help students plan class schedules and guide in the selection of courses. Students may be referred to a counselor or the student advisor by parents, staff, or peers. Students may also refer themselves for services. Staff includes: Middle School: Kate Rebman Elementary School: Kelly Wolf Career Coach: Amy Rhodes Social Worker: Courtney Miller School Psychologist: Melissa Vega Pupil Personnel Worker: Cynthia Waters Community School Coordinator: Andrea Clymire Student Support Services
