GPA Healthroom:
Our school strives to support each student for a successful school year. Please carefully review the following policies for the health room, medication administration, and illness. These policies are in place to protect your child’s health, safety, and well-being. They are also required by our governing school district. All authorization forms and the illness policy can be located on the school’s website or can be provided by the school upon request. Feel free to contact the school nurse to discuss any medical needs that may affect your child while at school.
Under S.C. Code Ann. Reg. 43-241, students who cannot attend public school because of illness, accident, or pregnancy, even with the aid of transportation, are eligible for medical homebound or hospitalized instruction. A physician must certify the student is unable to attend school but may profit from instruction given in the home or hospital. Should an approved student not be provided the medical homebound instruction that he or she is entitled to receive, the student is eligible to have the medical homebound instruction made up by the district. This make up may occur during the student’s remaining eligibility for medical homebound instruction or may occur after the student returns to school provided the make-up periods are not during the regular school day.
