Health and Wellness

Marian High School is required to have on file specific health information for all its students. Students who are new to Marian High School must submit these documents as part of the application process. Please refer to the Admissions pages of this website for more information.

Required health-related documents and forms include:

• birth certificate of student
• immunization record
• physician's exam form
• health questionnaire

• Students who need prescription or over-the-counter medications administered at school must bring the medication directly to the Attendance Office.
• All the medications must be in the original container.
• Prescription medication must have a pharmacy label indicating the student’s name, type of medication, dosage, and times to administer.
• Over-the-counter medication (Advil, Tylenol, or Aleve, for example) must be in the original container and labeled with the student’s name.
• A permission form signed by both the prescribing physician and a parent/guardian is required for prescription medications.
• A permission form must be completed and signed by parent/guardian for administering over the counter medications.
• Medication will be administered under the direct supervision of the school nurse, principal, assistant principal, dean of students, main office secretary, or attendance office secretary.
• No student, under any circumstances, is allowed to consume or administer medication in school without the direct supervision of the school nurse, principal, assistant principal, dean of students, main office secretary, or attendance office secretary.
• Students need a pass/admit before or after receiving medication.

Students should keep inhalers on their person so they are accessible when medically indicated. An Inhaler Self Administration Form and a Consent for Administration of Medication must be completed by the prescribing physician and signed by the parent/guardian and the student, then submitted to the Health and Wellness Office to keep on file.

Consent for Administration of Medication Form

When a student becomes ill or injured during class, a pass to the Health and Wellness Center must be obtained from the current teacher. If a student is too ill to remain in school, the nurse will notify the parents.

Students are not allowed to make arrangements to go home on their own. If the parent is unavailable, the persons designated on the student’s emergency card will be called. It is important that all phone numbers be kept current for the protection of the student.

If a student is injured while at school, his/her parent should seek medical care for the student through their usual medical provider. Once care is initiated, the parent must contact the Marian Business Office, who will obtain information required to complete the school's portion of the claim form. The claim form will then be mailed to the student's parent, who must complete the parent/student portion of the form.

The parent must mail the completed from along with an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) along with corresponding itemized provider statement(s) to the plan administrator's address shown on the claim form. All correspondence after this point will be between the plan administrator and the student's parent.

Completed claim forms must be submitted within 90 days of the date of injury.

Injuries sustained while participating in Marian sanctioned athletic training or events will be managed through the Athletic Training Office. Student athletes with an injury that must be treated by medical professionals must report to the Marian Athletic Training Office to begin the process of insurance reporting.
