Please be aware that students are not allowed to carry medications with them on campus. This includes cough drops. All medications must be dispensed from the nurse’s office and we can only dispense medications that have been signed in by a parent or legal guardian. We do not provide stock medications. All medications (prescription or non-prescription) must be delivered to the office in their original packaging and must be age and dose appropriate. Prescription medications must have the prescription label with the child’s name and dosage clearly visible.

When your child is going to be absent from school, it is necessary that you call each day to inform us of the absence by 8:15am. Be sure to provide your name, your student’s name, and the reason for the absence. Even if you inform your teacher(s), please email or call the Health Office to report the absence. The Health Office is responsible for the attendance.
In addition, please call us if you know your child will be late for school. If your student is late for school because of a Dentist or Doctor appointment, please make sure they have a note from your health care provider so it may count as an excused tardy.

Arizona Immunization Rules require all students age 11 and over be given a Tetanus booster (Tdap) and a Meningococcal (MV) to start the school year.
Maricopa county requires all Pre-K students and children age 5 and under attending our ESP program to have two Hepatitis A vaccines.
The Health Office is required to maintain updated records of student immunizations. Please make sure we receive proper documentation if your child received any immunizations over the summer and/or during the school year.
