In order to ensure the safety of students, please notify the Main Office, Health Assistant, and your child’s teacher of any significant medical conditions that may need special consideration or additional attention during the school day.
The school’s Health Clinic will be staffed by a Health Assistant who works in conjunction with a RN to address the needs of students who come to the clinic.
Students should be kept home until they are fever-free and/or have not vomited for 24 hours; they must be diarrhea-free for 48 hours. In addition, a student should be kept home for 24 hours after beginning medication requiring antibiotics.
Colorado State Immunization Law requires all students to submit a Certificate of Immunization or Exemption to attend school.

Most injuries that occur at school require minimal assistance administered in the school’s Health Clinic by the school’s designated Health Assistant. In the event of more serious illness or accidents, we will first attempt to reach the parent(s)/guardian(s) at home or work. If we are unable to reach you, we will call the emergency numbers listed on your student’s enrollment form. If neither you nor your emergency contacts can be reached within a reasonable amount of time, school authorities will take the necessary steps to ensure the welfare of your student.
In the most serious instances, school staff may contact emergency medical personnel prior to calling parents or emergency contacts.
