IMPORTANT HEALTH SERVICES INFORMATION  

June 2023

Dear Families and Students,

We would like to wish you all a happy and safe summer! Please watch for your 2023-2024 health forms in the mail from the MS and HS offices. These forms should be brought in on the first day of school to better serve and know your students.  Please see the link above regarding our “Health Services Information”, as it may answer many of your questions.

As of this writing, Covid-19 guidelines have not changed in regards to the timing of return to activity when a student contracts the virus. This fall, the health office still expects to be reporting Covid-19 cases to the Health Department, so please continue to notify us if your student tests positive.

Lastly, please remember to keep the health office in the loop when your student falls ill, has an injury, or has a change/or starts a new medication.  The health office is here to arrange health accommodations as needed.

August 28^th is the first day back for the Health Office. Calls and emails will be returned at that time.

If the student has any medical concerns the parent/guardian should  speak with the Health Office staff to ensure proper planning has occurred prior to their start of school

IMPORTANT INFO RE: SPORTS REGISTRATION

Students must register for sports tryouts using Family ID/Arbiter Sports.

Anyone who is not registered by these dates is not guaranteed the required approval to participate in tryouts. Once registration has been entered into Family ID, the nurses then begin the approval process by certifying that the following are on file in the Nurses Office:

Sports registrants must have:

1.  A physical that is less than 13 months old on file in the Nurses Office
2.  No current physician-imposed restrictions from previous injuries or conditions
3.  Those with history of concussion must have on file in the Nurses Office a physician note clearing the concussion, and  have completed the return to play protocol. 

You may use Family ID/Arbiter Sports at any time to check for when your physical expires.  You will also get an email from Family ID site 60 days in advance of the expiration date of your physical.
