Health Services
The school supports student health by providing on-site services and clear guidelines for medication and illness.
On-Site Services
The school partners with the Menominee Tribal Clinic to provide services during the school day.
- Students may receive dental and vision services on-site.
- A dental hygienist provides cleanings twice each year.
- Families must submit a signed permission form.
These services reduce time away from class and support student well-being.
Medication at School
Students may take medication at school when families follow these steps:
- Submit a Medication–Treatment Authorization Form.
- Prescription medication requires physician and parent/guardian signatures.
- Nonprescription medication requires a parent/guardian signature.
- Provide medication in the original labeled container.
- A parent/guardian must deliver medication to the school.
Important:
- Students may not carry medication at school.
- Exceptions include inhalers and EpiPens.
- Students should go to the office when they need medication.
When to Keep Your Student Home
Keep your student home if they have:
- Fever: 100 °F or higher (return after 24 hours fever-free)
- Vomiting or diarrhea: 2 or more episodes (return after 24 hours without symptoms)
- Severe cold or cough that limits activity
- Unknown rash (return after a doctor confirms it is safe)
- Pink eye: Return after treatment begins and the student is no longer contagious
A mild cold or headache alone usually does not require staying home.
