All medication
Emergency cards MINNESOTA STATE LAW requires all senior high students to show proof of three, diphtheria-tetanus (the last within 10 years), three polio and two measles, mumps, and rubella immunizations given after 1 year before starting school. The Hepatitis B series is recommended for this age group, but required currently at Kindergarten entry starting 2001 school year and for all 7th graders starting 2002 school year.
Please inform Health Services if you have had this series, so we can enter it on your records.
Student Immunization Data is shared with ImmuLink, the Hennepin County immunization registry. This secure computerized registry makes immunization date available to schools and physicians. Parents may opt not to participate in the registry by calling 612-676-5100 or their school health office for more information.
Both prescription and over-the-counter medications must be kept in Health Services with a form signed by parent/guardian and physician, if the student is under 18 years of age. Students are allowed to carry an Epi-Pen on them during school hours if they have severe reactions to food or to other substances that would cause them to have an anaphylactic reaction if they came in contact with the substance and that would require an immediate injection of epinephrine to prevent such a reaction. Authorization forms must be updated each school year.
Students under 18 years of age cannot be released from school if ill or injured unless authorized by parent/guardian or other adults designated by parent/guardian or a 911 emergency call. Please update emergency information as annually and as changes occur.
