COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CURRENT 6TH AND 11TH GRADERS
Before incoming 7th and 12th grade students can begin school in the fall, they must meet the new mandatory state meningococcal vaccination requirement.
STUDENTS WITHOUT PROOF OF VACCINATION, OR A STATE EXEMPTION, WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND CLASSES IN THE FALL.
The state immunization rules require: Students entering 7th grade (if born after September 15, 2004) – 1 dose of meningococcal vaccine received on or after age of 10 – a booster dose will be needed at age 16. In addition, all incoming 7th graders need proof of receiving the Tdap Vaccine. The Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster vaccination has been required by the state for school attendance since the 2013/14 school year.
If you do not have a primary healthcare provider please contact your school nurse for assistance, our district’s Metro Care Connection school based health clinics at 319-558-2481 or Linn County Public Health at 319-892-6000.
Students entering 12th grade (if born after September 15, 1999) – 2 doses of meningococcal vaccines, or one dose if a dose was received when student was 16 years of age or older.
DISTRICT MEDICATION POLICY
School District policy states: "Only medication prescribed a legal prescriber" shall be administered during the time the student is at school. Written authorization and instructions shall be provided by the parent or legal guardian. The school shall have the right to contact the prescriber’s office to confirm or clarify mediation instruction. All medications shall be supplied to the school in the original container, properly labeled, and shall be administered only by the school nurse or authorized personnel. A health care provider’s signature is required before non-prescription over the counter medications will be given, with the exceptions of pain relievers, Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen (see below). All medications must be kept in the health office unless the school nurse authorized otherwise. To download permission form, click on "
Permission Form
." Paper copies are available from the McKinley clinic.
We are pleased to share the news that the School Board has approved a medication policy that will allow Middle and High School students only may receive 5 doses per school year of over the counter pain relief medication at school without a health care provider’s signature. Parent signature will still be required.
The following pain relievers will be available in the health office for administration of age appropriate doses in the middle and high school health offices in treatment of headache, menstrual cramps, and dental pain only.
a. Acetaminophen – (e.g. Tylenol) 325 mg
b. Ibuprofen – (e.g. Motrin) 200 mg
Written parent/guardian permission will be required before pain relief medications will be administered. To download permission form, click on "
OTC Permission Form
"
Paper copies are available from the McKinley clinic.
School supplied pain relief medications will be offered only after the need to medicate has been made according to written protocols, which school health secretaries will review before administering the pain relief medication.
Only one dose of school supplied pain relief medication will be given per day. Only 5 doses per school year. If another dose is requested by the student in the same day, the school nurse and parent will be notified. Once a student has received 5 doses, parents will be notified and a health care provider’s signature will be required to receive further doses and the student will be required to have their own supply of medication.
HEARING SCREENING
Grant Wood Area Education Agency (GWAEA) screens all students in Alternative Kindergarten (AK), kindergarten, and grades 1, 2, and 5. Students in the Early Learning Program with IEP’s will be screened. Students in grades 3, 4, middle, and high school who are new to the school and some students with a history of known hearing loss will also be tested. Follow up testing may occur periodically if previous hearing test results were not within normal limits. Parent/guardians not wishing their child’s hearing tested should notify the health office in writing at the beginning of the year. Parents/guardians with concerns about their child’s hearing should contact the McKinley clinic.
Dental Screening
In 2007, Iowa State law required all incoming 9th grade students to give documentation of a dental screening completed by either a dentist or dental hygienist to the school. The screening for 9th grade is valid from one year prior to entering 9th grade to four months after enrollment. I-Smile coordinators partner with schools to assist students who need a screening or require follow up dental care. Your dentist can complete the form and it can be returned to the health office in 8th grade to satisfy this requirement. To download certificate, click on "
