Immunization Information

Updated shots are required of all students attending Wisconsin Public Schools.  The new requirements are listed in the forms below.  Also, we are providing our parents with a link to an Immunization Card which they can print, fill out, and send to their respective school.  Students are all required to show proof of compliance within 30 days of the beginning of the school year - or they must file for an exemption.  Otherwise, students will have to be excluded from school until they are compliant.

  • State Immunization Requirements 2024-2025 School Year
  • Immunization Record/Waiver Form

Medication Administration

Below you will find the updated policy for medication administration.  If you would like to authorize our staff to administer medications during the school day, you will need to be aware of the school policy concerning this.

  • Board of Ed Policy on Medication Administration
  • High School/Middle School Parental Permission to Administer Medication
  • Elementary School Parental Permission to Administer Medication

Community Resource Guides:

In keeping with our dedication to students and their families, we would like to make available the following resources within our community.  Click on each link for more information.

  • Badger Care
  • Chippewa County Area Food Assistance

Dietary MD form for Accommodations at School:

These documents may be printed, completed and turned in to your child's school for their dietary requirements:

Dietary Modification Form for Physician / Parent or Guardian

These documents are in PDF format.  Most computers will be able to open them, however if your computer can't you can download the free Adobe Reader by clicking here.

Parents often have need to notify their school nurse regarding their student's health information, or, they may have health questions.  If so, please contact the school nurse at the phone numbers provided.

Be sure to check the building assignment of your school nurse, listed at the bottom of this page, prior to contacting your school's nurse. You may leave a message and the nurse will return your call.

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 immunizations.

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.

Screenings
During the school year, screenings are conducted periodically in the areas listed below.

  • Vision - Kindergarten - 5th Grade
  • Hearing - Kindergarten and 2nd Grade

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.  Thank you to families for calling your student's school when they are ill and for reporting the diagnosis made in the physician's office.

Reminder:  Your child should not come to school if they have:

  • Temperature of 100.4 or higher. Need to be fever-free for 24 hours without any fever-reducing medication (Tylenol, ibuprofen) before returning to school.
  • Vomiting in the last 24 hours - Must be asymptomatic for 24 hrs before returning to school.
  • Diarrhea (3 or more loose stools in a 24 hr period) - Must be asymptomatic for 24hrs before returning to school.
  • Diagnosed with a contagious disease (strep throat, impetigo, etc) and have not been on antibiotics for 24 hours.

Good hand washing habits are the number one way to prevent the spread of illness!

Homework Requests
If you will be absent from the High School for at least three (3) days, homework assignments may be obtained by calling the nurse's office at 726-2406, Ext. 1084.
