We work to keep students healthy and in class. This page covers medication at school, immunization requirements, and when to keep your student home.
Medication at school
For the safety of all students, any medication given at school — both prescription and over-the-counter — requires a signed authorization form on file, and medication must be brought in by a parent in its original container. Please contact the office before sending any medication with your student.

Immunizations
Idaho requires students to be immunized or to have a valid exemption on file to attend school. If your student is missing required immunizations, the office will reach out to help you get current.

When to keep your student home

Students should be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning. To report an absence, contact the office.
