Health Reminders for Parents

Medication Pick-up  

• Parents, please remember to pick up your student’s medication by Friday, June 5th. Any medications not collected by then will be safely disposed of in accordance with state regulations.  

Immunizations for the 2026-27 School Year  

• Please make sure your student is current on their immunizations for the upcoming school year. (Refer to the Student Immunization Law: Age/Grade Requirements)  

• 7th grade students will need to receive their Tetanus booster and their first Meningococcal Vaccine.  

• 12th grade students will need to receive their second Meningococcal Vaccine.

• If you prefer to waive your student’s vaccination requirements, please complete the Student Immunization Form, including Section 4 (Waiver).

Medications for the 2026-27 School Year  

• If your student uses rescue medications (such as Albuterol, EpiPen, Valtoco, or migraine medications), please ensure we have an up-to-date Medical Consent and Emergency Action Plan specific to your student's diagnosis for the upcoming school year. Also, verify that the medication is not expired. 

• Students must have both their medical provider and parent/guardian sign off on the Emergency Action Plan that they can self-carry medication. 

• Health forms are located at the school office. You can request them to be emailed to you, as well.

• Health Centers do have stock medications (i.e. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Bacitracin, Burn gel...). A Medical Consent is required yearly if you wish your child to receive over-the-counter stock medications.
