Introduction
In the Chippewa Falls School District, nursing services are provided by two full-time RN positions, and health assistants at each school with the exception of Jim Falls. This page gives some general information about nursing services.
Immunization Requirements
In Wisconsin state law requires that all immunizations be up-to-date within 30 days of entering the school system. You will be asked to complete the immunization card at registration and requested to notify the school nurse when you receive additional immunizations.
Please note that waivers for personal, religious, or health reasons remain an option for parents. The Wisconsin Department of Health & Family Services offers more information about immunization and immunization requirements.
Health History
Please complete the health history form each year. If your student has a significant health history, please contact the school nurse personally. To enhance your students educational experience, special needs, or concerns will be shared with appropriate personnel.
Medication and First Aid
Daily medication administration and routine first aid is provided by the school secretary and/or health assistant. A Registered Nurse is available for emergencies. If you need daily medication at school, please obtain a copy of the school district's policy. All medication should be kept/registered in the nurse's office.

Fluoride
A Fluoride Mouth Rinse Program is offered for a nominal fee in all elementary schools. Parental authorization is required for the fluoride program. Your child will bring a request home for your signature at the beginning of the school year. The Wisconsin Department of Health & Family Services offers some more information about the Fluoride Mouth Rinse Program.
Absences
Absenteeism due to illness should be telephoned daily to your child's school secretary. Please be specific about illness (i.e. flu, strep, chickenpox, etc.) because it is helpful in the control of communicable disease.
