About Health Services at Anthony Wayne Local Schools

Information from Our School Nurses

Health Services at Anthony Wayne Local Schools provides support for students’ physical wellness. Our school nurses can answer questions about illness, allergies, and medications. For most information, see the Nursing Services Handbook, or contact your child’s school nurse with specific questions.

Is my child too sick for school?

You know your child best, but deciding if they are well enough for school can be challenging. The Nurse Services Handbook provides guidance, and our school nurses are available to answer questions and check on your child during the day.

Reporting an Absence

Contact Us

In the event of an illness, parents or guardians are required to call the school by 8:00 a.m. for Campus students and 9:00 a.m. for primary buildings. A parent/guardian note is required upon the child's return to school.

Parents/guardians may choose to send an email to report an absence or submit supporting documentation such as a doctor's note.

Medications at School

If your child needs medications at school, parents will need to submit a prescription and/or over the counter medication form. This form must be completed each year, signed by a parent/guardian and physician, and submitted with all medications.

All medications must be in correctly labeled bottles and brought to school by a parent or guardian—not the student.

Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are available at Fallen Timbers Middle School, AW Junior High, and Anthony Wayne High School with a signed over-the-counter form. Elementary students may bring cough drops with a signed note; they will be kept in the clinic or with the teacher. Other medications, like Orajel, triple antibiotic ointment, and calamine lotion, are administered at the nurse’s discretion.
