School Health Services

Hart County School Nurses may make contact with parents regarding any health issues. The nurse will NOT take responsibility for evaluating signs of illness or injury that have occurred at home. These should be referred to your family doctor or an emergency room. Nursing services will be provided, if a medical release has been signed, completed, and returned to school.

Judgment in such cases is at the discretion of school authorities, and parents assume financial responsibility.

Parents will be contacted immediately should a situation warrant when their child becomes ill or has an accident at school. In serious situations when a parent cannot be contacted, the Principal or Principal’s designee will request the assistance of local emergency medical personnel. Please keep your current telephone number, the name of a contact person for emergencies, and a current number on file in the office. Please be sure to return to the teacher the emergency authorization form at the beginning of the year.
