Warren County Public Schools strives to meet the individualized health care needs of our students.  To meet these needs, our medical staff and administrative teams collaborate with community-based medical professionals to create individualized health care plans.  The plans contain documentation that records important information about medical conditions symptoms and prescribed interventions that support students while in school.  The links below can be used by the parent to initiate the process to create a health care plan.  In addition, schools will accept other types of documentation from a student's doctor to start the process.  Please return the selected form or other medical documentation to the administrator at your child's school to start the health care plan for your child.  If you have any questions, please call the Special Services office at 540-635-2725.

The Right Turn Program has been developed as a possible alternative to long term suspension for first time offenders for drug offenses committed on school grounds.

The purpose of the program is to give both students and parents information that can assist families with drug use and improving the parent-child relationship.

Agreements in participation:

  1. This is a one-time offering for a student and is for first time offenders only, who are not charged with distribution of drugs.  Legal charges for use or under the influence will be made anytime a student has drugs or is under the influence at school.  The Juvenile Courts have agreed to consider deferring these charges if the program is successfully completed.
  2. The student and parent or guardian must actively participate in all 8 modules in order to successfully complete the program.
  3. The modules must be completed within the time frame offered.  Being absent or late to any program module will negate this agreement and the 365 day suspension will be instituted immediately. The court will also be informed of unsuccessful completion.
  4. Appropriate participation is expected during each module.  Attentiveness to the instructors, willingness to actively participate and respect for other group members is needed by both students and parents.  If instructors feel that the student and/or parents have a hostile or overtly negative attitude towards the program, participation will be immediately terminated and this information will be sent to the Superintendent for review.  The court will also be informed of unsuccessful completion.
