Health & safety
The health office for schools without a nurse — allergies every adult can see, records only the right people can.
The full record stays permission-gated; every staff view is audit-logged.
In short
Pearspark manages student health for nurse-less schools: health profiles with staff-alert allergy flags that surface on rosters everywhere, immunization compliance against your state's list, medication orders with dose logging, visit records, printable field-trip emergency cards, annual family confirmations, and a documented behavior/incident ladder.
Safety flags every adult sees, records only some do
A severe peanut allergy shows as a flag on every roster, gradebook, and sub packet — allergy awareness is a safety requirement for every adult in a small school. The full health record stays permission-gated, and every staff view of it is logged.
Immunizations against your state's list
Enter the vaccines your state requires; Pearspark tracks each student's doses and exemptions and shows a compliance view of who's current, exempt, or missing. Immunization records print into transfer packets automatically.
Meds, visits, and the paper trail
Record medication orders and log each dose given. Log health-office visits. Print emergency cards for field trips — contacts, conditions, medications per student. Once a year, ask every family to review and confirm their child's health information from the portal, and track who has.
Behavior documented the way handbooks require
Log incidents with your school's own types, locations, and escalation ladder — the system suggests the next handbook step. Confidential entries stay restricted, positive notes can share to families, and everything is timestamped: documentation in order is a small school's legal shield.

Common questions
We don't have a school nurse — is this still for us?
It's designed for exactly that. The admin or a teacher is the health office: safety-critical flags surface to every adult automatically, while the full record stays gated and audit-logged. No nursing workflow assumed.
Is Pearspark HIPAA compliant?
School health records kept by the school generally fall under FERPA, not HIPAA. Pearspark is built for FERPA-covered record keeping: permission-gated records, caseload scoping, and a full audit trail of every view. Formal compliance is the two halves together: ours is written out in the FERPA section of the privacy policy at /legal/privacy, and yours is your school's own health-records policy and consent forms. Write support@pearspark.com to talk through data-processing terms for your board.
Can teachers see behavior records for any student?
No — visibility follows your permission setup. Teachers see their own reports and their own students' records; confidential entries are restricted to those with behavior management rights.
