🚨 Parents: We Need Your Consent for Health Services!
New state laws mean we can’t provide even basic health services at school—like taking a temperature, applying a bandage, or giving an ice pack—without your permission.
✅ Emergency care will still be provided if needed.
📌 To give consent, just complete the Health Services Consent Form as part of your child’s online registration.
Already registered? You STILL need to log in to Parent Self-Serve and fill out the form under the Health tab for each student.
