Immunization Requirements

Registered nurses are available during classroom hours for emergencies, injuries, illness, and consultation. It is not a substitute for a student’s health care provider.

If a student wakes up not feeling well, or has a temperature greater than 100 degrees, they should stay home.

Students who become ill while in class must obtain a pass from their teacher and report to the nurse.

Contact with a parent/guardian must be made prior to sending an ill student home.

Students requiring physician-prescribed medication during the school day must have medicine registered with the school nurse (this includes inhalers and epi-pens).

Students must have a current immunization record to attend school.

Students must have permission to treat form signed by a parent/guardian.

9th Grade and Special Education students will undergo vision and hearing screening during the school year.

Students may be referred to the nurse for a welfare check.
