The Health Office staff at South Junior High School is here to advocate for health.
We believe healthy students learn better and we can often assist with accessing health care. 
 
About Us
South Junior High School is staffed with a Health Technician, trained in first aid and CPR, who on campus from 7:30 am – 3:45 pm daily. The primary role of the Health Technician is to provide basic first aid for unexpected injuries, to assist with medications when it is determined they must be given at school; and to maintain health records on all students enrolled.  The School Nurse oversees health services at several school sites in the AUHSD and is able to be reached by cell phone during school hours. 
 
Health Office Visits
Except in the case of an emergency, all students must have a pass from their teacher to visit the Health Office.  Walk-in's during passing period will be returned to class for a pass. 
Communication with the Attendance and Health Office is important.  No student will be allowed to leave with another person (even a relative) unless that person is listed as an emergency contact if the parent/guardian cannot be reached first.  It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to keep their emergency contact information current.
 
Medications
All medications and/or forms should be taken directly to the Health Office located in the Counseling Center.  If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach Angelique Jones the Health Technician.  By law, the school cannot administer any medication, including over the counter medication, or treatment without parent permission and a physician's order. We can assist you with this process, please ask.
