Healthy Students Are Better Learners
Health is essential to optimal learning. Health Services are available to all students within Uinta County School District #6. We have 2 district registered nurses who strive to maximize each student's potential by removing health-related barriers to learning.
Health Care Plans
Medication Policy & Forms
Many students have chronic or acute health concerns that require medications to be administered during the school day. If your student will require a prescription, or over the counter medications while at school, you need to complete a UCSD #6 Medication Administration form.
This form requires physician and parent completion each school year. (One per medication)
Please refer to the UCSD #6 School Board Policy , ADMINISTERING MEDICINES TO STUDENTS (JHCD) for more detailed information.
Immunizations
Wyoming Immunization Rule
Immunization Schedule
Immunizations are an important part of our children’s health care, and Wyoming law requires all students attending Wyoming schools to be vaccinated against certain diseases unless a medical or non-medical exemption is filed. Parents have the right to exempt their child from school immunization requirements. Parents need to submit a signed statement of personal or religious exemption by the beginning of each school year. A medical exemption requires a certification signed by a licensed healthcare provider and needs to only be submitted once.
Schools work hard to ensure compliance with the immunization laws. Your help in providing updated immunization records at school registration and when your child receives additional vaccine(s) is greatly appreciated. Please discuss your child’s vaccination needs with your child’s doctor or local public health agency. Please bring your child’s updated immunization records to the school each time your child receives an immunization.
For more information about vaccine requirements, resources, exemptions, or annual parent immunization letters, please visit the Wyoming Department of Health Immunization Unit page, or contact your school nurse.

Screenings
Your child may be given a vision screening during this school year. A vision screening is not a substitute for an eye examination by an eye care specialist. Vision screening may take place at any time during the school year. School screenings are coordinated by the school nurse who may use trained parent volunteers and school staff to assist.
You will receive a referral letter if your child fails the screening. However, even if your child passed, it is important that your child see an eye care specialist once a year. School vision screening does not evaluate eye health and cannot uncover all important vision problems or prescribe treatment.
Because academic learning is 80% visual, and visual problems are best detected and treated early, a comprehensive eye and vision examination is recommended. Healthy eyes and good vision are essential for success in school.
Please provide the school with written notification if you do not want your child to participate in the screening program.
4th and 5th Grade Maturation
UCSD #6 schedules annual maturation presentations for 4th Grade girls in which parents are encouraged to attend. For the 5th Grade, boys and girls meet separately. Parental consent is obtained prior to the presentation. Presentations are facilitated by our district nurses. We follow the P&G Always Changing and Growing Up Puberty Education Program which can be viewed at the following link.
