Immunization Requirements

Minnesota statute 121A.15 requires that students attending schools have immunizations against certain diseases, have a physician statement that states that the student can not receive immunizations due to health concerns, and/or a conscientious exemption form for immunizations. A conscientious exemption form requires a parent to sign with a notary present and have form stamped by a notary. We do have a notary present at the school. The form can be found under the link “click here to access HEALTH FORMS” at the bottom of this page and once filled out returned to the district nurse.

Medication and Required Forms

Minnesota Statute 121A.22 requires that all prescription medications given at the school need to have paperwork that is signed by a physician and parent to give the nurse authorization to administer the medication to the student.  We are also required to have paperwork on file for students to have over the counter medication. These papers must be resigned each year that they are applicable to the student and or if there is change to the dose, medication, time, route, and/or reason. The form can be found under the link “click here to access HEALTH FORMS” at the bottom of this page and once filled out returned to the district nurse. When bringing in prescription medication please ensure that the medication is properly labeled with the correct person, route, medication name, dose, and  right time. No expired or miss labeled medication will be accepted. 

When to Keep Your Child Home

It can be hard to determine if you as a parent need to keep your child home from school. The “when to keep your child home” form can better help you to determine when to keep your child home from school to help prevent further spread of illnesses. “When to keep your Child Home” can be found under the link (Click here to access HEALTH FORMS)  at the bottom of this page. These guidelines are in place to keep our school a healthy and safe learning environment. Please keep the office up to date with your current address and phone numbers, in case we need to call you due to your child being ill. If you have questions please contact the district nurse. Please also call the school to report any illnesses. 

New Covid Guidelines

COVID guidelines have changed from previous years. The current COVID-19 guidelines can be found at the link below called, “Covid-19 Isolation guide”. Please notify the nurse if you have further questions and notify the district nurse if your student tests positive for COVID-19. 

Please contact me at the school by phone or email if you have any questions.
