Health Resources and Information for Families

IMMUNIZATIONS

Nearly every child care provider requires either proof of immunizations, a medical exemption or nonmedical exemption to be enrolled.

STUDENT PHYSICALS

All students participating in district-sponsored sports teams (middle and high schools) must have a sports physical on file in the school office. 

VISION SCREENINGS

To ensure that students can see to read, state law requires that children seven and under must have their vision tested before registering for school. 

DENTAL SERVICES

State law now requires a child who is 7 years of age or younger to have a dental screening before entering school for the first time. Learn more about this requirement.

When to Keep Your Student Home

There's no question that we want your kids in school as much as possible. However, there are times staying home is necessary. A fever higher than 100.4 Deg. F is one sign of illness. A fever higher than 103 is usually time to call the doctor. Click below and go through our daily health screening.
