Health Screenings, Examinations and Records

Health records are maintained on every student. These records are confidential and are maintained throughout the student’s school attendance. These records include information on immunizations, health screening results, health problems reported to school, health problems experienced while at school, health related documents submitted to school and any other health related information.

Please remember to always complete a new emergency card and submit the appropriate health information for your child at the start of EVERY school year!

State law requires that all children receive specific immunizations in order to enter public and private schools. Please be sure to submit a complete vaccination record for your child and update it as needed. Contact your school health services staff member with any questions or concerns regarding your child’s immunization requirements.
