Record health and allergy notes

Health notes keep a student's allergies, medications, and conditions where the office and nurse can find them fast. A red badge warns staff wherever the student's name shows up.

Before you start

You need to be an owner or admin, or a team member set up as Principal, Office staff, or Nurse.

Steps

1. Go to Front office, then Directory, and click the student's name.
2. Scroll to Health and allergies.
3. Under Allergies, type the allergy, pick the Severity (Mild, Moderate, or Severe), and add the Reaction or plan, like "EpiPen in the office".
4. Under Medications, add the medication, dose, and when it is given.
5. Add Conditions, one per line, and any Notes.
6. Tick Share with teachers if the student's teachers should see this.
7. Click Save health notes.

Good to know

• Health details are encrypted when stored. Only the allergy level is kept plain, so the red badge can show.
• The Allergy or Severe allergy badge shows on the directory, the student record, the sign out desk, the nurse log, and printed cards.
• Teachers see nothing unless you tick Share with teachers. Then a Health note badge shows next to the student on their class page in Classes. Each time a teacher opens it, it is logged.
• Health notes are never sent by email or text.
• Printed emergency cards and class emergency rosters include health notes even when they are not shared with teachers.
