All incoming 7th graders for the new school year are required
to have their immunizations up to date before they begin school.
Minnesota School Immunization Law 121A.22 requires that students
entering 7th grade show proof of the following immunizations:
1-MMR (second dose)
2-Hepatitis B (series of 2 or 3 shots)
3-Td Booster (given after age 11)
4-Varicella (or history of chicken pox disease signed by MD or
parent)
If your student has not received the Hepatitis B series, we recommend
beginning it now to allow time for completion before 7th grade
begins.
Students who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or whose
parents are conscientiuosly opposed to immunizations may receive
legal exemption. Please contact the nurse for details at
763-971-4509/4519.
Please send or fax updated records to the school health office
at
763-971-4531.
For families who need medical or dental care assistance, please
contact the school nurse for details.
Updating Contact Numbers
We are in need of obtaining new phone numbers that you or your
emergency contact people may have acquired since your child started
school. If your child is ill and we are unable to reach you, we
are at a disadvantage for helping them. If it is an emergency,
we may have to call 911.
If your child needs to take medication during the school day,
for either a long or short duration, we need both the doctor's
order and your permission within 2 days of beginning the medication,
or we cannot give it. You may have the doctor FAX the order to
us at (763) 971-4531.
We are grateful for the follow-through you have provided your
children who have needed the vision or hearing screening. If you
have received a referral for vision or hearing and are in need
of financial aid,
please contact the
Health Office for assistance at (763)
971-4509.
