COVID SAFETY POLICIES

Health and Medical Services

School Nurse

A school nurse is available during school hours. If a student is injured, the faculty member in charge must bring him or her to the school nurse. In a medical emergency in school, the School Nurse should be notified immediately.

Only the school nurse may determine if a child must go home for medical reasons. In the event that a school nurse is not present, the school must receive permission from a child’s parent or legal guardian to allow the child to go home for medical reasons.

Medication Administration

Except as expressly permitted by the school, school employees, including faculty, are not to administer medication of any kind (including Tylenol and cough medicine) to students. Only registered nurses and doctors who have proper authorization are permitted to do so, except in the event of a true emergency. Students may not have prescription or non-prescription medication in their possession without the express written consent of the school nurse.

In the absence of a school nurse, only a principal, dean, teacher, coach, physical therapist, or occupational therapist, who is authorized and has received training in safely administering medications from a school nurse or licensed physician, may administer oral, topical, inhalant, or injectable medications. No medication (prescription or non-prescription), however, should be administered to any student without the written order of a licensed physician, licensed dentist, advanced practice registered nurse or physician assistant, and the written authorization of a parent or guardian.

The administration of medications as prescribed shall be recorded on an Individual Student Medication Form. As each form is completed, the school nurse will file it in the student’s cumulative health record.

CPR and Defibrillation

The school has access to an Automatic External Defibrillators (“AED”) for emergency purposes. An AED is a portable, lightweight, automatic external defibrillator that is used to shock the heart of a person who is undergoing sudden cardiac arrest. The use of this piece of equipment requires training and is an essential part of administering emergency first aid immediately to a heart attack victim. The AED enables a trained individual to provide potentially lifesaving assistance in an emergency. Since sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone at anytime, it is vital to know what to do and who to call to perform CPR and defibrillation.

H1N1 Policies and Procedures

Harlem Hebrew follows the New York City Department of Educations policies and procedures for addressing the current H1N1 virus.

School Safety Policies

The maintenance of safety and good order is the collective responsibility of all school staff, parents, students and agencies such as the NYPD/NYCDOE Division of Safety. To help ensure safety, Harlem Hebrew has the following policies:

Visitors

To maintain safety and security, only authorized visitors are allowed in Harlem Hebrew. No visitors (children, parents, spouse, partners, or friends) may come to Harlem Hebrew without official prior approval from the Principal or the Principal’s designee. All visitors must sign in at the main desk and show a legal identification. All visitors must enter the Main Office and express the purpose of their visit for approval by the Principal or the Principal’s designee. Unless staff has planned visits in their schedules, the presence of visitors may negatively reflect on classroom activities causing unwarranted disruption and possibly diminish productivity.

Personal Belongings

In the interest of safety and security, the School reserves the right to search all bags and containers brought onto the School premises, at any time.

Fire Drill/Evacuation Procedures

The school conducts fire and other emergency drills in accordance with applicable state and local laws. All staff and students are expected to participate in such drills, as building and safety personnel require.
