Wellness at Silverdale

When a student becomes ill or injured at school, parents are contacted depending on the severity of the symptoms. 

In an effort to control the spread of sickness on campus, students should remain home if they are sick. A student may return to school once he/she is fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication. A fever is 100.0 degrees or higher.

All students are required to have an updated Tennessee Immunization Record on file in Magnus Health prior to the start of school. For new students, these forms should be submitted at the time of admission. All PreSchool, Kindergarten, and 7th-grade students require an updated immunization form before starting school, as mandated by the Tennessee Department of Health. Any student missing the required immunizations and/or form will not be allowed to start classes until the form is supplied.

Out-of-state applicants can submit their immunization records for review during the application process and will have 30 days after moving to submit a Tennessee Immunization Record. 

All medical exemptions must be submitted on this form during the application process (new students) or by the first day of school (returning preschool, Kindergarten, 7th graders).  Silverdale does not accept religious exemptions. 

If it is necessary for a medication to be given during school hours, a Medication Authorization Form in Magnus Health (via your FACTS account) must be completed and signed by the parent/guardian. Students may not bring medications of any type to school except those that have a filed Medication Authorization Form.  All medications and a signed Medication Authorization Form must be checked in with the school nurse prior to administering medication. Emergency medications should be checked in with the school nurse. Students are not allowed to keep any type of medication on them, in their backpack or locker unless they have submitted written consent from a parent/guardian to the school nurse, and the school nurse approves.
