Emergency Information Forms

Each new school year, parents are required to complete an OCPS Emergency Information Form for each student with names and phone numbers of people authorized to pick up your child if you are unable to be reached. In an emergency, 911 may be called. The back page of the form offers parents an opportunity to opt-out of certain school clinic services and health screenings.

Head Lice

Head lice is found in all schools. OCPS policy states that any student with head lice may not remain in school. Students with lice will be isolated until taken home. To prevent the spread of lice, the child and home should be completely treated using recommended shampoo and procedures. Lice and/or nits must be removed at home before returning to school. Children who are sent home with lice or nits must be brought to school by an adult and checked in the clinic before they will be allowed to return to class. They will not be allowed on the bus until they have been checked. It is advisable to check your child’s head weekly.
