Clinic

Our clinic is staffed by Bethany Kelly. 

Clinic staff will administer minor first aid as well as prescription and over-the-counter medications.  The primary purpose of the clinic is to care for students with chronic health conditions, administer medications brought in by a parent/guardian, provide first aid when needed as well as respond and care for emergency situations. The clinic does not diagnose students with any ailments.  

The clinic depends on parent donations for supplies for the clinic such as extra clothing, band-aids, snacks, baggies, etc. All donations are welcome and appreciated. 

List of GCPS Medical Forms

GCPS medical forms are available by request from the school clinic.

The clinic is available for illnesses or injuries that occur DURING school hours. Students checked out of the clinic due to illness are to remain home for a minimum of 24 hours fever and symptom free without the aid of medication.

If a student has a current medical condition, a completed health management plan (available at the clinic) should be on file in the clinic. These forms help provide the medical information needed to best care for your child while at school and they must be updated every year.

Guidelines for medication administration consistent with Board Procedure PJGC.  Please include the following information:

• For the safety of all students at our school, the following guidelines should be followed when requesting administration of medications at school:
