Health & Medical Information

Emergencies

In the event of a medical emergency or accident, we will contact the child’s parent or doctor. If it is impossible to reach either party, and should emergency treatment be required, the child will be taken to a nearby medical facility. By enrolling in AASEP you have authorized us to contact your family physician and take whatever emergency medical procedures are deemed necessary for your child. If your child requires the use of an Epi pen, one must be provided to AASEP before your child can attend.

Illness

The State requires that children be isolated and sent home for the following reasons:

– A temperature of 101.5 degrees or more
– Vomiting
– Diarrhea
– Symptoms of a communicable disease (ie: head lice, pink eye, etc.)

We expect you to keep your child at home if they have a contagious disease, and to report the condition to AASEP.

Medication

Please give your child’s prescription medicines to Reception with instructions to place in refrigerator if required. Otherwise, we store medicines in our medicine cabinet. We must have a signed medical form before we can administer any medicine. Prescription medicine must be in the original container, labeled with the child’s name, name of the drug, dosage, directions for administration, current expiration date, and the physician’s name. Over-the-counter medicine must be labeled with your child’s name, dosage, and administration directions. If your child has medication in the school office, we must have proper authorization before we can administer.

Emergency Plan

In the event of an evacuation from AASEP, the children will be taken to the ANNEX located one block west of the school at 2435 SW Vista Ave. The annex phone number is 503-916-6290. Parents will be called if possible- and KXL750 radio will be notified.
