The school psychologist provides consultation with teachers, parents and other professionals in the school and
community to assist them in improving the learning adjustment of the children referred.

HUDSON HIGH BOOKSTORE

Hudson High School has its own bookstore where students may purchase workbooks, computer disks, art and
photography supplies, paperback novels, physical education uniforms, locks, and other essentials such as pencils, pens,
notebooks, and science goggles. The store is open four days per week during the lunch hours. Volunteers from the
community provide assistance during the first days of the school year when a majority of student purchases are made.

HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL CONCERNS

Working together, parents and school personnel can best meet the health needs of the students. Hudson High School is
serviced by a full-time medical assistant, with a full-time charge nurse available “on call.” The medical assistant and
nurses work closely with school personnel, students, doctors, and other community members.

Medication is distributed in the schools according to the medication administration policy. A self-administration of
medication policy is also in place, and the students choosing to take their own medication during school hours are
expected to follow this policy. Any questions regarding medications taken at school are to be directed to the nurse.
Parents who have a student with health problems or concerns are encouraged to contact the school nurse. The nurse
can then work with the school personnel and help meet the needs of the student. All health concerns are handled
confidentially.

Each fall, parents complete an Emergency Medical Authorization Form as well as an Emergency Information Card. This
supplies the medical assistant, nurses and key school personnel with phone numbers of local people to contact in case a
student becomes ill at school. Parents are the first to be contacted in all situations. The alternate numbers are used
only after attempts to reach parents have failed.

MEDICATIONS

If you wish your child to take prescription or non-prescription medication during the school day, please:
1. Send the medication to the Clinic in a properly labeled bottle. The label should include: Student’s name, physician’s

name (if a prescription med), name of drug, dosage to be given, and frequency and method of drug administration.
2. Send the medication with a completed “PERMISSION FORM FOR MEDICATION TO BE ADMINISTERED BY SCHOOL

PERSONNEL” or “PERMISSION FORM FOR STUDENT TO CARRY AND ADMINISTER MEDICATION.” These forms can be
obtained in the Main Office or online.
