Health Office

Our Health Clinic Specialist (HCS) is Beth Partin. 

The HCS will be on duty in the clinic from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily for the students at Waterford Elementary.

Below are some reminders and other information. Please feel free to call the school with any questions.

 

~ If your child has any significant medical needs, please notify the HCS, even if you have notified the school in previous years.

~ If your child has asthma, diabetes, seizures, life threatening allergies or other medical conditions, you can pick up forms in the school office or download them from the links to the Health Services website for you and your physician to complete. This allows the school to understand your child’s medical needs so we can address them appropriately. (If your child was in Loudoun County Public Schools last year these forms were sent to you at the end of school in June.)

~ A parent or guardian must deliver any medicine (prescription or non-prescription, including cough drops) to the office or clinic. STUDENTS MAY NOT TRANSPORT MEDICINE TO OR FROM SCHOOL. Parents are responsible for picking up any unused medicine.

~ Children who have fevers or experience vomiting should be kept at home and should be fever-free and vomit-free for 24 hours before returning to school. 

~ Most importantly, please be sure to keep your emergency information up to date so that we can reach you if your child is ill or injured.
