Welcome to Arrowhead!
Arrowhead High School has a health room at each campus that is staffed by a health room aide or the school nurse. The health room is open during the school day to help your student. Here are a few health room reminders:
- If your student has a fever, please keep them home for 24 hours from the time the fever breaks without the use of fever reducing medications.
- If your student is vomiting, please keep them home for 24 hours from the last episode.
- Students are NOT allowed to carry any over-the-counter or prescription medications at AHS. All medications are to be provided to the health room and will be dispensed after the medication and proper forms are completed. (See below for forms.) Exception: Individualized health plans that are signed by a student's physician for asthma inhalers, EPI-Pens, and insulin. Medication forms and Individualized Health Plans can be printed at the links provided below.
- If your student will be gone for a medical appointment or procedure, please bring a medical note from your physician to exempt their absence.
- If your student needs to be picked up from school for an illness, we request that pick up be made within 30 minutes.
- If your student needs to be excluded from gym class or a sport due to a medical issue, please supply a medical excuse from your student's physician. Any time a medical excuse is provided, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide a medical letter clearing student for activity. Without a clearance letter, your student will not be able to participate in gym class or sports, which does include all summer gym classes.
