	health and safety	A professional school nurse, Sally Hunter, RN, is available daily to care for students. Her phone number is 291-6876. APS has a trained staff to enroll qualifying students into Medicaid. If you have questions concerning the qualifications needed to enroll please contact the nurse. Parents should contact the nurse about any health problems that might reflect on student performance. Lastly parents should also notify the Health Office of boosters administered so that immunization records may be kept current. In the event that a student becomes ill or injured at school, he/she should report to the health office for care and observation. The parent/guardian will be called if a student complains of illness or injury and requests to go home. The parent will also be notified if a student is ill or injured and it appears that further treatment is necessary. The nurse or health assistant will call the parent to pick up the student. Emergency numbers are used in an emergency situation, when the parent(s) cannot be reached, or when the student is ill and it has been determined that the parent(s) cannot be reached. If your child has surgery or an illness that causes a long-term absence, the nurse can coordinate information and schoolwork between the parent and teacher. Home Hospital can also be arranged if the child will be out of school 3 weeks or longer. Please contact the nurse’s office as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made.

	Special Education	Special education placement is based on a complete diagnostic evaluation as specified in the New Mexico State Standards. Programs are designed to provide an individualized curriculum for each student with an identified exceptionality. The Individualized Education Program (IEP) Committee determines the amount of time and services that a student will receive. Ancillary or related services and the least restrictive environment are also discussed. Special education placement is based on each student's needs. Special education support can be delivered in the following ways: • General education classes with monitoring of progress by special education staff. • General education classes with a minimal amount of special education through the monitoring and support of a staff member for less than 50% of the day with a 24 to 1 pupil/teacher ratio. • A moderate amount of special education service for more than 50% of the day with a 15 to 1 pupil/teacher ratio. • A moderate amount of special education service for more than 50% of the day with an 8 to 1 pupil/teacher ratio. • A combination of the above programs, as appropriate, to meet specific needs. Integrated classes will be offered, where appropriate.
