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 August 1, 2021. 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.
