Kaiser Permanent has joined with VCUSD to open its very first "Teen Clinic" at Jesse Bethel High School in February, 2007.

Clinic Hours: Tuesdays, 2-4:30 p.m. during the school year.

Location:The Kaiser Clinic is located in E100 near the main administration building.

Our school is also looking to retain a traditional school nurse again but is not likely to do so before the clinic becomes operational.

Important Notices for Parents & Students

VCUSD policy for administering medications at school require parent authorization and MD authorization
for (OTC) over-the-counter and prescribed medications. In addition to the above, parents are required to provide the medication; medications must be delivered to the school by the parent or an adult designee.

1. For students who self-administer their medication, such as inhalers used for asthma: a medication authorization form is required to be on file in the attendance office. Please obtain such an authorization from the attendance office.
2. For students who do not self-administer and require assistance: their medication bottle must be properly labeled with the students name, doctor, dose, frequency, and route.

Please submit these forms and medications to the attendance office, for the attention of the school nurse. Medication authorization forms expire one year from the date noted on the form by the doctor.
