Registration
Students need to be registered with the school-based health center. To be registered, a student must have a consent form signed by a parent or guardian. Registration provides important information to be used in case of an emergency and is required for medications, treatment, and most laboratory tests.
Service Provisions
Basic school health services are available to all students. These services include health screenings, counseling, education, communicable disease prevention, and basic first aid.
Services which require a request from parents include immunizations, follow-up of exiting health conditions, and physical exams.
Health professionals communicate with parents regarding student health needs by written notes, telephone calls or personal visits.
