Mission Bay High Nursing & Wellness
Our Health Office supports the health and wellness needs of all students and is staffed during school hours by a Registered Nurse and a Health Technician.
Please contact our School Nurse with questions about managing chronic conditions in school, concerns about illness-related absences, how to give medications in school, recent injuries, and any other health concerns you may have for your student. We are here to help!
School Nurse: Marisa Maxwell, RN, RCSN [email protected]
Health Technicians: Deanna Wolfe [email protected], Spencer Sutton [email protected], Jerica Elmore [email protected].
MEDICATION AT SCHOOL
If your student needs prescription or over-the-counter medication during the school day, please:
- Contact our School Nurse. You’ll need to provide (1) a written order from your child’s healthcare provider AND (2) the medication in its original labeled container. Details and forms can be found here.
- DO NOT send your student to school with medications to self-medicate. This is for the safety of your child as well as their peers.
- DO NOT ask other school staff to give your student medication. All medications must be reviewed by the School Nurse and administered by trained staff only.
- With open communication and appropriate documentation, we are able to safely administer medications to your child while they are in our care. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, please reach out with any questions!
IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
California Health Laws require that Mission Bay High School has proof that your student has received all currently due immunizations unless they are exempt for medical reasons. Students may not register or attend school without this documentation in place. For information about medical exemptions, contact [email protected].
ABSENCES
If your child is too sick to come to school, please report their absence to the Attendance Office. When a student misses 10% or more of school days due to illness, school personnel may require a note from your child’s healthcare provider to excuse their absences and begin planning for school supports.
