Health & Safety Information Health & Safety Protocols · Immunization · COVID-19 Reporting COVID-19 Reporting: We believe that the best and only way to successfully re-open school is through transparency and an intentional community effort. For this reason, we are publicly reporting all COVID-19 cases across the district. View the latest data, updated weekly. Our priority is to begin the 2021-22 academic year with 100% in-person instruction across all regions and states. Current state requirements limit IDEA’s ability to offer students a virtual learning option at this time. In addition, our schools’ experience over the last year demonstrates that students learn best in person and that schools can operate safely with responsible precautions in place. IDEA believes that each of our campuses provide an environment that allows us to deliver on our promise of a safe and excellent education for every student. We will continue to monitor changes in guidance from the CDC, state and local health authorities.

Symptoms = Stay Home: Why Keeping Your Scholar Home If They Are Sick is Important for Your Campus Community Scroll back to top IMMUNIZATION The Health Services team provides basic first aid to students with minor injuries and illnesses. The clinic staff members tend to students’ medical needs, maintain student medical records, conduct state-mandated health screenings, and communicate regularly with parents and staff members. The clinic staff members will administer medications/ procedures to students with physician orders and parent consent forms when needed. State law requires students attending school to be immunized against certain vaccine-preventable diseases.  You are encouraged to get your child vaccinated early to avoid the end-of-summer  vaccination  rush.  Getting your child vaccinated protects your child’s health and that of the community.  If necessary, please make an appointment to get your child vaccinated before the first day of school. Remember, students cannot attend school without the appropriate documentation for the required vaccines. Be sure your child is up to date on all immunizations.
