Health Services at Tse’ii’ahi Community School

At Tse’ii’ahi Community School, the health and safety of our students are our top priorities. We collaborate with Crownpoint Health Facility to ensure a safe and healthy environment.

Student Illness Procedures

• Students are required to stay home if they are feeling unwell.
• If a student becomes ill during class, they are sent to the school nurse or front office.
• The school nurse or administrator contacts the student's parent/guardian to pick them up from school if they are too ill to remain in class.

Medical Emergency Procedures

• In the event of a medical emergency, we transport the student immediately to Crownpoint Health Facility.
• We notify the parent/guardian as soon as possible and ensure that staff remains with the student until the parent/guardian arrives.
