End of School Year
At the end of the school year, the school nurse will:
•
Determine health office and first aid supply needs. Submit requests through
school supply clerk or local medical treatment facility as appropriate.
•
Initiate referrals to the military treatment facility for students/families with
ongoing health problems that need monitoring over the summer.
•
Compile a confidential list of students with health problems that need follow up
early in the fall.
•
Arrange, with the local MTF or contacted source, the calibration of equipment
during the summer (e.g., audiometer, electronic thermometer, scale, etc.).
•
Notify the sponsor/parent/guardian to pick up dependent’s medication on the last
day of school; dispose of all unclaimed medications in accordance with local
medical treatment facility policy.
•
Note expiration date on stock epinephrine. If expiring before the start of next
school year, be ready to replace at the beginning of the school year. Dispose of
all expired epinephrine in accordance with local medical treatment facility policy.
Store non-expired epinephrine in the health office.
•
Submit work orders when any equipment used in the health room needs repair.
•
Leave an information file for an incoming nurse in case you might not return to
the school site next school year. This file should include a list of phone numbers
of resource offices and people, information on special health problems of
students returning to the school and other information of value (see SHSM
Volume II, H-11-4).
•
Unplug refrigerator, defrost, clean, and leave doors of the refrigerator and
freezer open to prevent mildew. There is no need to operate the refrigerator
during summer months, unless summer school is operated and used for
students’ medications.
•
Secure items that need protection over the summer months, including stock
epinephrine.
•
Complete SHSM Form H-11-4 (School Nurse End of Year Checkout Form) and
leave with the principal.
