Health Information

We recommend that medication be taken at home whenever possible. However, in some cases it is essential that medication be administered during the school day. For the protection of all the students, and to comply with Washington state law, the we have policy and procedures in place for the handling of all medications at school.

If your student is injured during school activities you, as the guardian, are responsible for any medical bills. The health and safety of our students is one of the district's foremost concerns. Unfortunately, accidents do happen. These accidents can result in medical bills that may be expensive. Many families are unaware that the Northshore School District does not carry insurance for student personal injury costs and therefore cannot assume responsibility for the costs. This includes students participating in athletics.
