Morris Area Schools Health Office

Welcome to the Morris Area Schools Health Office Home Page!!  

The Morris School District employs one health professional, a Licensed School Nurse (LSN), district wide.  The LSN serves students at the Morris Area Elementary, Morris Area High School, St. Mary's Catholic School, and Morris Area Community Education pre-K. The building office staff will be responsible for your student's health needs when a nurse is not available.   

Parents and Guardians, follow the links to Forms and Documents or Medications regarding medications and treatments for your student(s).  Check the link for Immunizations to ensure your student is up to date with their vaccinations.  

Feel free to contact the health office at any time with questions, concerns, or recommendations.

It is sometimes hard to know when a child should stay home from school and when a child should attempt to come to school, even though they may have a mild illness. Here are some reasons that students must stay home from school:

• A fever greater than 100 degrees

  • students must stay home for 24 hours after they are fever free (without medication), until that time they are still infectious.

• Diarrhea

• Vomiting due to illness

• Mouth sores with drooling

• Unidentified rash that cannot be covered or is distracting to the student

• Eye irritation (redness, drainage) with pain

• Specific illnesses may require a defined period of absence from school
