Health Services

 

Welcome to the Toutle Lake School District Health and Wellness page! Here you'll find
information for families and staff regarding health issues at school. Please contact your school's
health specialist (see contact information below) if you have further questions.

To attend school, students with life-threatening health conditions must supply their school office
with any required medications, treatments and/or documentation.
State law defines a “life-threatening condition” as a “health condition that will put the child in
danger of death during the school day if a medication or treatment order and a nursing plan are
not in place.” This includes, but is not limited to:

           Severe allergies
           Seizure disorders
           Diabetes
           Asthma
           Certain heart conditions

Our health team will work with families to create an emergency care plan for each student with a
life-threatening condition.

If your child has a life-threatening condition, please contact your school’s main office to ensure
you have all the required paperwork and medications necessary to keep your child safe during
the school day.

Families may submit a signed doctor's letter if their student's documented life-threatening health
condition is no longer present.

If your student needs to receive medication, either prescription or non-prescription (Tylenol,
cough drops, etc.), during school hours, you must provide a physician note, parent/guardian note,
the medication in its original container, and a completed Authorization of Medication form.

All students must meet state immunization requirements to attend school. Families must supply
records of the type of vaccine and month, day, and year that each vaccine was given. To view the
list of required vaccines, check out WA Dept. of Health's Immunization Manual for Schools.
