Diabetes

Parents/Guardians should provide the following at the start of each school year:

(May use clinic provided diabetes medical management form. Each year, meet with the school nurse prior to the first day of school)

Each year, parents and students with diabetes are encouraged to arrange to meet with the school nurse.   At this meeting the Diabetes Questionnaire will be reviewed as well as the current Diabetes Management Plan. The School nurse will write, as necessary, an Individual Health Plan and/or Emergency Care Plan based on these two documents. These plans will need yearly review by the parents. 

According to the American Diabetes Association, the ages at which children are able to perform self-care tasks for diabetes management are individual and variable.  St. Croix Preparatory Academy health office recognizes the need for minimal interruptions for the student to have optimal opportunity for academic success.  The school nurse will work with parents, students, healthcare professionals, and school staff in striving to meet the needs of the student without compromising health and safety of all parties involved.

Please complete the following form if you feel your student is ready for that step:

Must be in 5th grade or higher

Other accommodations can be made via the Individual Health Plan and/or a 504 Plan.
