Health records are maintained on all students. Records include information on immunizations, height, weight, allergies, illness, fluoride participation, and vision, dental, and scoliosis screenings. Physicals are recommended on all students in kindergarten, sixth, and ninth grades. At the start of each school year, parents fill out a student health information sheet. Information is compiled and a confidential health list is distributed to staff.
Immunizations are a very important part of the student health record.
One dose of mumps vaccine, on or after the first birthday. If a combination of OPV and IPV is used, four doses are required. There are several screenings required by Indiana State Law. All first grade students are given a Modified Clinical Technique vision screening at school by a local optometrist. Third grade students are given a vision screening by the school nurse.
