Health Room: Health at School
JEFFCO School Health Aides are paraprofessionals who are on-site in each school health room during the school day. As per the Colorado Nurse Practice Act, nursing tasks are delegated by the District Registered Nurse to the School Health Aide. Daily needs of students, such as administering medication, taking care of sick and injured students and performing specialized procedures such as nebulizer treatments are then carried out by the Hutch School Health Aide.
Medications
For all medications to be administered at school, submit the following to the Health Room:
- A completed General Medication Form
- Medication in it's original container
- Current prescription label (if required)
- Be within the noted expiration period
A doctors signature is required for over-the-counter medication.
Medication agreement forms, asthma care plans and allergy care plans can be found at the Jeffco Schools Health Services website.
