Rogersville City School Clinic

The school clinic nurse is responsible for managing the health care status of students enrolled at Rogersville City School. This service includes review and evaluation of health records and general health conditions. 

The nurse keeps records of students’ immunizations, health conditions; vision, hearing and health screenings, individual health plans and routine clinic visits. The nurse cannot make a diagnosis or write prescriptions. 

If a student has any health concerns while at school, they should come to the nurse’s office. If your child becomes ill, the nurse will contact you, or someone designated by you, to pick up your child. It is imperative that all phone numbers be listed on the emergency contact form and be updated immediately should they change during the year.  

Please provide the nurse with any changes in health conditions that may need the nurse's professional support. If your child has had an injury, surgery or change in health status; please bring him/her to the school nurse’s office prior to returning to class to discuss the specific needs of your student. Scheduled surgeries or procedures that may impact your child at school should be discussed with the school nurse prior to the event and before the student returns to school.  Written documentation from your healthcare provider outlining any restrictions to activity or special treatment guidelines will be reviewed at this time.  The nurse will review doctor’s orders for care at school, including medication administration and restrictions/accommodations that must occur in the school environment. 

The school clinic will dispense medications provided by and checked into the clinic by a parent including over the counter medications and prescription medications with a doctor’s order. 

Please see the forms links below to download the medication consent.

Take advantage of our partnership with East Tennessee Children's Hospital!

East Tennessee Children’s Hospital is excited to work with your child’s school to provide care for minor illnesses while your child is in school. Sometimes it is hard to be seen because of work or provider schedule. Our goal is to make it easier to get pediatric care for your child. This can be done while they are at school by a virtual health visit with a pediatric provider.

 

How does school virtual health work? The school nurse will call you if your child has a complaint that could be seen with a virtual health visit. Your child will be seen by our pediatric provider using virtual health tools. These virtual health tools allow for evaluation of complaints such as fever, sore throat, pink eye, ear infections, coughs and colds, allergies, and rashes.

 

What tests can you do? The school nurse can test your child for Strep throat, Covid, and Flu.

 

What if my child needs a prescription? Prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy.

 

Does a parent or guardian have to be at the school for the visit? You do not have to be present for the visit. We do encourage you to join the visit by phone or video. This allows you to ask questions or share concerns.

 

If I cannot join, how will I know what is wrong with my child and how to treat it? Everything will be available for you to review on the patient portal.

 

How do I sign up? You can sign up using this link School Telehealth Registration

 

What if my child already has a doctor? We do not take the place of your child’s doctor. We only provide care for minor illnesses. We always ask you to follow up with your child’s doctor. If your child does not have a doctor, we are happy to help you find one.

 

Will insurance cover this visit? Currently TennCare covers virtual visits. Some private insurance companies also cover virtual visits. We will submit any visit to your child’s insurance. If your child does not have insurance, we recommend contacting TennCare at 855-259-0701 to see if you qualify for TennCare or CoverKids for your child. You can also apply online at https://tenncareconnect.tn.gov
