Medical Information
The standard Medical Information Form is required to be filled out and signed by parents each year.
Immunizations
Immunizations are required by state law for all students attending public school. A copy of the immunization record is kept in each students health file. Families that object to immunizations for medical or religious reasons may return an objections statement (found on the back of the immunization record form) each time new immunizations are needed. This form must be notarized.
Individual Health Plans
Health Plans are used at NCA to notify teachers, specialists, and bus drivers of potentially life-threatening health conditions. Health Plans are renewed annually and updated at the beginning of each school year. If your child has a health condition that the nurse’s office should be aware of, please print and complete a plan and bring it to the office.
