Nurses Notes:

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 Open House in August.   These requirements can be waived due to medical exemption or conscientious objection to a particular immunization.  Visit the district website and click on Services, Health Services, and Immunization State Law and Forms, 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.

You will also be receiving Annual Health/Emergency Contact forms the beginning of August.  Please complete and return those as soon as possible.  They need to be turned in prior to schedule pick-up at the Open House in August.
