General Health Measures

In all matters of health, CBE takes direction from Alberta Education and Alberta Health Services. Find out how you can reduce the spread and lessen the impact of illness in school communities.

Routine Immunizations

The CBE supports the AHS school-based immunization program.

Allergies

Families are asked to share information regarding student allergies and medical conditions, including the use of inhalers and EpiPens.  The school will store additional inhalers and EpiPens in the office upon parent requests.

Illness at School

Students, who feel ill at school, must inform their teachers immediately, and will be escorted or sent to the office. Students need to call home from the office. Students do not go to the washroom or another location where we would be unaware of a potential emergency. We will contact a parent for the student to be picked up.

Checking In or Out During the Day 

If students must leave the school due to illness, appointments or for other reasons, they are to be signed out at the office by a parent/guardian or other person identified on our contact list for that child. Identification may be requested. Students will not be released to anyone not listed on the contact list without expressed consent from parents.

Medication

Forms You Need 

Student Health Emergency Response Protocol Form
This form is to be used when there is a student health issue regarding attention. This includes when there is a request to administer medication. 

Student Health Plan

This form is to be:

  • completed if a physical or medical condition may affect the student's attendance at school
  • completed if medication is to be taken at school,
  • reviewed and updated annually or sooner if there is a change in the student's health concern or school registration.

Lice

There may be times during the school year when we have cases of head lice. 

If your child has head lice, please contact the school and let us know. If your child has been exposed to lice at school we will notify you.

As a precaution, we ask all parents to check their child’s head frequently for a few weeks after any exposure. You can find more information on lice from myhealth.alberta.ca.
