	Waltrip has a full-time nurse who is available for health counseling, health screening, evaluating vision and hearing problems, as health resource person for health classes and for emergencies as they arise. Students with serious or long-term health problems should see the nurse during the first week of school so adjustments in schedules may be made if needed. School board policy prevents nurses and teachers from administering aspirin or medications of any kind at school. A student may bring medicine to school to take if he/she has a note of authorization from his/her doctor or parents.
The medicine will be kept in the nurse's office. Refer any questions to the nurse. Students who become ill at school should obtain a permit from the teacher whose class he/she is missing and report to the clinic. No student will be seen without a permit except in extreme emergencies. By state law, students must have up-to-date immunizations. Students who received a DPT shot upon entering the first grade will require another DPT immunization in the tenth grade. Parents are requested to cooperate with the school nurse in keeping the immunizations current.
