School Health
From required health forms to medication policies and athletic participation forms, this page brings together the health information families need throughout the school year.
Health Assessments
For students entering school for the first time.
​
Kansas requires a health assessment for students ages 9 and younger who are enrolling in a Kansas school for the first time.
Immunizations
Help ensure your student's immunization records remain current. Updated records should be provided to the school nurse as soon as vaccinations are received.
​
-
Attention parents of 6th grade students: Students entering 7th grade are required to have a Tdap vaccine to attend school.
​
​
Medication at School
Students who require medication during the school day must have the appropriate authorization forms on file. Prescription medications require authorization from both a parent/guardian and a physician, while over-the-counter medications require parental permission. All medications must be provided in their original container.
​
Action Plans & Emergency Forms
If your child has a chronic health condition or life-threatening allergy, please notify the school nurse so an appropriate care plan can be developed before the school year begins. Updated forms are required annually.
​
Sports Physicals & Athletic Forms
Students participating in athletics or spirit activities must have the required KSHSAA forms completed and on file prior to participation.
​
Illness Guidelines
Review district guidelines to help determine when your child should remain home due to illness and when it is appropriate to return to school. ​
