Health Office News

Annual Health/Emergency Contact Forms

Annual Health/Emergency Contact forms were mailed out the end of the 2015-16 school year.  Please complete and return those to the school your student will be attending (attention Health Office).  They need to be turned in prior to schedule pick-up at the Back to School Night this fall.

Immunizations

Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools adhere to a “No Shot No School” policy.  This means that incoming 7th graders must meet the state immunization requirements prior to schedule pick-up at the Back to School Night this fall.   These requirements can be waived due to medical exemption or conscientious objection to a particular immunization.  Visit the district website and click on Health Services, immunizations, state immunization requirements, for more information and copies of downloadable forms for recording shot records and for waivers.   You can also visit http://www.health.state.mn.us/immunize for more information regarding immunizations.

Scott County (952-496-8552) offers immunizations clinics as an affordable option for those families who may not have health coverage.   There is a suggested $10.00 donation per immunization.  No one will be refused if unable to pay. 

Have a safe, fun summer and we will see you this fall!
