Health Services

Contact information needed for your child in the case of an emergency or illness is an important part of providing care and facilitating communication with parents/guardians.

All emergency contact and medical information is entered through the Skyward Family Access Portal. Directions for use can be found under the main Princeton page, Family Logins tab, Skyward Toolkit, or at The Student Information Tutorial Link listed here. By making adjustments to your Family Access account, you will be able to sign up for alerts, enter emergency contact information as well as pertinent medical information such as allergies and conditions that we should know about your child. Please enter this information as soon as possible to assist health services in caring for your child. It is extremely important to update any medical information, phone changes, address changes and alternate contact changes annually, and at any time during the school year as they may occur.

Make your child’s health concerns known to the District School Nurse or Health Service Assistant. Bring current signed Health Care Provider’s orders and medication that will be needed each school year and with any changes that occur during the school year. Work with the District School Nurse to develop an Individual Health Plan for your child at school each school year and with any changes that occur during the school year. Provide permission for the school district nurse to communicate with your child’s healthcare provider by signing a Data Release Form, Individual Health Plan, and/or Action Plan for your child at school each school year and with any changes that occur during the school year. These forms can be found on the Parent Medical Forms section on this page. Provide parent/guardian and emergency contact phone numbers each school year and with any changes that occur during the school year. If the school health staff are aware that your child has a medical concern, each year two attempts will be made to obtain current health information and/or medication. Health information about your child will be shared with school staff (and transportation staff) on a “need to know” basis only. If your child rides the bus or other school transportation, it is the parent/guardian responsibility to share with transportation staff any health concerns, health information, and emergency medication to ensure the safety of your child while being transported.

Food Allergies - be aware that many people have allergies to foods (especially to peanuts, peanut products and other nuts). Some of the school buildings allow peanuts and nut products in classrooms. Some of the school lunchrooms have areas where students are allowed or not allowed to eat peanuts and nuts. Some school lunchrooms serve peanuts/peanut products. Check for the specific procedures here.

Latex - due to an increasing incidence of latex (rubber) allergies, non-latex balloons will be used during the school day and for school events in all buildings. These items are a significant concern because they allow latex particles to be dispersed into the air. Mylar, vinyl and other non-latex products are safe alternatives. Latex-free gloves and bandages are used in the school Health Offices.

Scents - many people have allergies to scents. Avoid using any products with strong scents: this includes perfumes, colognes, heavily scented deodorants and Essential Oils. No perfumes or scented spray type products are allowed in the school buildings.
