Our school is staffed with a registered school nurse.  The nurse administers first aid and periodically conducts mandatory vision and hearing screening tests.  The school nurse provides support and consultation to health assistants, and works with physicians, parents and school staff.

Much advancement has been made in medicine to help prevent childhood diseases.  To help protect your child, Arizona Law requires immunization against Rubella (measles), Poliomyelitis, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Mumps, and Hepatitis B.  Children can be exempted if a physician certifies that one or more of the immunizations are contrary to their religious or personal beliefs.

Although the law allows exemptions, the Pinal County Health Department may tell us to exclude your child from school if there is an outbreak of any of these diseases.  All children must have verifiable records or required immunizations or a signed exemption before being allowed to attend school.
