The Lebanon City Schools Health Services staff welcomes you and your family to our district. We look forward to caring for your child’s health needs at school this year. Below are the names and building assignments of our staff as well as our phone numbers. Please feel free to call us with any questions or concerns. Our goal is to promote the overall health and wellness of your child in order to enhance his/her ability to learn.
Student Medical Issues
If your child has a serious medical issue, please contact us before the school year begins. Please realize that the health information which you record on school forms may not reach us immediately thus it is very important that you contact us by phone. It is our goal to provide a safe learning environment and be prepared to care for your child on the first day he/she attends school. With your permission, we will make a medical plan for your child that will be distributed to pertinent school personnel. It is important that staff members be informed on how to care for your child at school. If your child will require a medical procedure or medication, a form will need to be obtained from the school and then completed by you and your physician. Staff members will also need to be trained on how to administer the medication or procedure. It is imperative that you notify us of serious health issues as soon as possible to allow time to obtain the appropriate forms from your physician and to train our staff to care for your child.
Medication
If your child must have medication of any type given during school hours, including over-the-counter medications, an administration of medication form must be completed by you and your physician. Please see the administration of medication form for a detailed explanation of our school medication policy.
Vision / Hearing Screenings
The early detection and treatment of vision/hearing disorders will give your child a better opportunity to develop educationally, socially, and emotionally. The school screening is not an eye/ear examination, does not take the place of an examination, and will not detect all potential problems or diseases. If you feel that your child may have a vision/hearing problem, you should make an appointment with a physician regardless of the school’s screening results. The school screening is only meant to aid in the detection of general vision and hearing problems.
All K, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th grade students will receive a vision screening. If your child does not pass the screening, a referral letter will be sent home. Please make an appointment with an optometrist and take the referral letter with you. The optometrist should complete the eye report and it should be returned to school. If you have any questions regarding your child’s results or need financial assistance in obtaining an eye exam/glasses, please contact us.
All K, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 9th grade students will receive a hearing screening at school. If your child does not pass the hearing screening, a second screening will be done in 4-6 weeks per the Ohio Department of Health guidelines. A referral letter will be sent home if your child fails the second screening. Please make an appointment with an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist and take the referral letter with you. The physician should complete the hearing report and it should be returned to school. If you have any questions regarding your child’s results, please contact us.
Scoliosis Screenings
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that commonly occurs during the adolescent growth spurt. Students will be screened for scoliosis in grades 7 and 9. If signs of scoliosis are detected, a specialized nurse from the Cincinnati Spinal Center will re-check the student to determine if referral is indicated. If you receive a referral, please contact the child's physician for evaluation, have the referral form completed by the physician and return it to school.
Immunization Requirements
Ohio Law requires that students meet certain immunization requirements to attend school. A complete immunization record or proof of being “in process” of obtaining the required shots at appropriate time intervals must be on file within 14 days of school entry. Students not meeting these requirements will be excluded from school 14 days after school entry per Ohio State Law. It is our goal to avoid excluding your child from school. Please review the required school immunizations on this website and contact us if you have any questions.
The Warren County Health Department will provide immunizations for $10.00 by appointment (call 695-1468) or at the walk-in clinic on Tuesdays 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
