School Health Services  

The School Nurse/Assistant, if available, will collaborate with staff members, parents, and students to promote a safe and healthy environment. 

• Student Illness Procedures – Students are to remain home if they are ill or have a contagious illness. If a student becomes ill and cannot remain in class, the student will be sent to the school nurse/front office. The school nurse/administrator will contact the parent/guardian to pick up their child at the school. 
• Dispensing Medication (Prescription and Over the Counter) – Medications will be administered in accordance with the BIE’s Medication Administration Policy.

Medical Emergency 

In case of an emergency (i.e., the need for urgent medical attention), the student will be immediately transported to the local health facility/hospital. The parent/guardian will be notified as soon as possible, and staff will remain with student until parent(s) or guardian(s) arrive. 

Continuity of Learning and COVID-19 Response Plan 

Lake Valley Navajo School opened the school year in hybrid learning mode. As we have prepared and adjusted to our current student population, we have moved to in-person learning. We work with families on a case by case basis as COVID-19 has placed many schools including ours in unpredictable circumstances. Technology and connectivity are available for families as well as learning materials and supplies. Communication between families and schools is very important. CDC guidance along with Navajo Nation and State education departments are followed.
