Children who experience health issues during school hours. What parents should know. Parents do not necessarily expect health issues to arise during school time unless their child has a chronic issue that requires a plan. For parents who have healthy children it is important to understand how the school handles minor illnesses and emergencies. Parents need to be familiar with the school policies and provide the most current contact information in case their child experiences a health issue during school. Parents should be aware of the following: 1. How does the school handle medication administration during school hours. 2. What happens if my child becomes ill at school? 3. How does the school staff respond to minor and serious illness or injuries? 4. Are there health care providers or staff on school grounds trained in CPR or basic life support specifically for children? For more information contact your child’s school for a copy of the current policy regarding health care at school and also visit this link at healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/gradeschool/school/Pages/Health-Problems-at-School.aspx
