STUDENT HEALTH RECORDS
We want to ensure new students follow the appropriate health requirements as they prepare for the 20-21 school year. The following forms apply to students in every division, from infants to 8th grade.
Review the forms listed below in advance to schedule your doctor appointments and arrange for the pertinent paperwork. Make sure all forms include the appropriate signatures and completed fields.
Submit all forms to nurse@hses.org by the first day of school, August 19, 2020. Your child will not be admitted to school until the Health Form and the Immunization Records are filed in the nurse's office. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
