Important Scholar Health Information
Student Health Services Information
For detailed information about how to work with Genesis to ensure your scholar has a safe and healthy school year, please click on this link below.
See below for a summary of some of the most important things to consider in preparing your scholar and family for a safe and successful journey at Genesis.
- Genesis should be informed if your child has a medical condition or chronic illness, requires assistance with medication, or for any medical procedure or treatment.
- When possible, medication should be taken at home, including all non-essential medications such as vitamins, herbals, essential oils, and narcotic pain medications. However, if medication must be taken at school, on a field trip or during a “before or after” school chaperoned activity, parents must provide all medications (prescribed and over-the counter) in accordance with Genesis Innovation Academy’s Policy.
- The parent/legal guardian must complete an authorization and instruction form entitled “AUTHORIZATION TO GIVE MEDICATION AT SCHOOL Form”. For all prescription medications, a healthcare provider must also sign the form. The school cannot give medications without the authorization form. The same form is used for prescription and non-prescription medications. Medication Authorization Forms are valid for one/current school year. A separate form MUST be used for each medication.
- If your child has a medical condition such as asthma, a severe allergy or another health-related condition that requires self-administration of medication, or needs to carry an emergency medication (EpiPen, Diastat, Inhaler, Glucagon, etc.), or has an approved legitimate reason to carry a medication on his/her person, you must complete and submit to the school clinic an "Authorization for Scholars to Carry Medication Form". This form must be signed by the healthcare provider, parent, and scholar.
- It is the parent or legal guardian’s responsibility to keep the scholar’s health and contact information (telephone numbers, address, etc.) updated.
- By working together, we can strive to ensure the health and well-being of every scholar so that he/she can benefit from the education program.
Diabetes Info
New Diabetes Information from the GaDOE and DPH 2025-2026 School Year:
GaDOE’s Office of Whole Child Supports in conjunction with the Department of Public Health has developed a Diabetes Informational one-pager as required by recent legislation from HB 1183. Per HB 1183, this information is being shared, and copies of the flyers can be provided to parents and guardians for students in grades 6-12 (because we also share information on immunizations, infectious diseases, medications, and other school health issues). Genesis Student Health Services referenced this information in the 2025-2026 Health Services Information letter. For more information or support on diabetes, speak with your healthcare provider or visit dph.georgia.gov/diabetes.
