Health Requirements & Forms

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

All students must have a record of current immunizations on file. Immunizations must be documented before a child starts school. There are immunization requirement updates in grades Pre-K, K, and Grade 7. Please be sure the nurse’s office has this documented.

A STUDENT HEALTH INFORMATION AND CONSENT FORM must be completed for EACH student at the beginning of each school year. This is a three (3) page form. Please complete the first two pages of the form. For continuity of care, please include all health issues that may affect your child at school, even if there is no current treatment.

Please communicate necessary medical information concerning your child to our school nurse. The school nurse will make every attempt to meet with you regarding any medical issues at the beginning of each school year.

Student injuries or illness during the school day will be communicated to parents as quickly as possible. Depending on the extent of the injury/illness the student may need to be sent home. Please be sure your emergency cards are up to date so that children may be picked up when necessary. A child will be allowed to leave with adults authorized on the emergency cards only.

A child out of school ill for more than 5 consecutive days must have a doctor’s note to return to school.

MEDICATIONS AT SCHOOL

For students with allergies who have an EPI pen a doctor’s order must be on file in order for the school nurse to have the EPI pen. The doctors order may be an allergy action plan from the doctor OR a completed page 3 of the STUDENT HEALTH INFORMATION AND CONSENT FORM.
