Welcome to the new school year! Here are some friendly reminders from your School Nurse to help us provide care and a safer environment to your student while at school.
Immunizations:
Students must be up-to-date on required immunizations for school. Religious and medical exemptions are still acceptable for those students that meet the criteria. The state of Nevada is not waiving the immunization requirements at this time.

Medications for when the school building reopens for students:
A prescription label or doctor’s note and a completed (parent permission) form CCF-643 (which can be obtained from the Health Office) are required for medication administration in the Health Office.
Please ensure the medication label or prescription indicates exactly how you want us to provide the medication. We cannot accept “once a day” or “twice a day” orders. Administration times must be specified on the medication label or prescription note (ex: “with lunch” or “ 12:00 pm”). If we are to give an inhaler as needed, ask the doctor to write indications for administration (e.g., “shortness of breath” or “wheezing”) and the time interval between administrations (e.g., “every 4 hours” or every “4-6 hours”.) Please ask your doctor or pharmacy for a SPACER to reduce or eliminate aerosol particles in the air during inhaler use.
We cannot accept nebulizer orders for school this year.
Epi-Pens, inhalers, diabetes care, and seizure medications require a specific district form that the parent, doctor must complete, and School Nurse for the student to self-carry or self-administer. Please get in touch with the Health Office to request these forms.
Special medical orders are needed for students requiring medical procedures while in school. Don't hesitate to contact the Health Office for more information.
P.E. Exemptions/Modifications
Any recurring P.E. or recess exemptions exceeding 3 days requires your doctor to complete a district form (CCF 652.) This also applies to physical activity modifications and protective gear. Please get in touch with the Health Office to request this form.
Crutches/Wheelchair:
Should your student need to attend school with crutches or a wheelchair, a doctor’s note is needed before the student returns to school.
