First, we understand the challenges and struggles presented by the COVID-19 Pandemic. As we return to school this year, many things are unknown, and constantly changing. We are in this together and it is my pleasure to assist you and your child to make the best of the current situation.
Please keep your child(ren) home if they are feeling ill.
Yearly Student Health Information Update
Health Services has created an electronic version of the Student Health Information form. Due to COVID-19, the health office will not be sending out paper copies.
Please complete this survey if your student is new to Clark County School District or there have been any health related changes. If the reported health condition(s) of your student has not changed there is no need to complete the survey at this time.
