Dear Parents:
I would like to welcome you all and your students back to school. I am looking forward to working with your children this school year. There are a few things I would like to cover:
Health Concerns: Please let us know if you child has severe allergies, health conditions that require monitoring is school (asthma, diabetes), or any health related restrictions/concerns. Also, please provide the school with the appropriate care plan/physicians orders.
Medications: Students will not be administered any medication without a doctors order and parent permission. This includes over the counter medications like Tylenol and Ibuprofen. If your child requires medication in school because of a medical condition (inhaler, insulin, epi-pen) I will need a signed doctor’s order and a parent’s signature. A prescription label is not acceptable as it is not a doctor’s order.
If a child has a doctor’s order and a parent’s signature the medication may be administered in school in the health office. The medication needs to be brought to the health office by a parents in the original container. The school does not stock any medications.
Immunizations: Please get your child up to date with immunizations. 6th graders are required to have a Tdap vaccine and kinder students are required to have their final doses of DTaP, IPV, MMR and Varicella. Notices of requirement and exclusion will be sent home within the month.
Illness/Absences: Please contact the office staff if your child will not be in school. If your child has a fever he/she should stay home until they are free of a fever for 24 hours without medication. Until this time they are still contagious and can spread the illness to other students.
If your child is diagnosed with any of the following illnesses/diseases please notify the office and keep them home for the following lengths of time:
Strep Throat- 24 hours after the first dose of antibiotics
COVID-19- 5 days from the onset of symptoms or positive COVID-19 test
Impetigo- 24 hours after the first dose of antibiotics
Chicken Pox- 7 days or until lesions are crusted over
Scabies or Ringworm- 24 hours after the first dose of prescription medication
Pink Eye- 24 hours after the first dose of prescription medication
Head Lice- after the hair has been treated and nits removed
It is our job to keep students in school but if they are not healthy and feeling well, they will not learn. If your child is vomiting, has diarrhea, has a fever of greater than 100.0, or has any other contagious illness please keep them home. If they come to the health office with any of these they will be sent home.
Screenings: Per Colorado State Law all students in kinder, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, & 9th grades must have a vision and hearing screening. We will be conducting vision screenings September 8th & 9th. Hearing and height and weight will be done September 22nd for the MS and HS and October 20th for elementary students. If the tests are abnormal your child will be rescreened. If the test remains abnormal after the 2nd screening a referral will be sent home and you will need to follow up with a doctor.
Dental screens and fluoride varnish will be done for students’ k-5th grade. These will be held sometime in September as well as again in the spring as it is recommended that children get two fluoride treatments a year. This is a FREE service. More information will be sent out as the time gets closer.
I hope you and your students have a great and healthy school year! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you!

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month
Center School Districts obesity rate in students has been historically higher than the state average!
Help your child – and your whole family – eat healthy and stay physically active. The healthy habits your child learns now can last a lifetime.
What can I do to help my child stay at a healthy weight?
Help your child stay at a healthy weight by balancing what your child eats with physical activity. Two of the best ways to help your child stay at a healthy weight are to:
· Help your child and family eat healthier foods
· Be more physically active as a family
You are a role model.
Parents are often the most important role models for children. When you choose to eat right and be physically active, your child will be more likely to make those choices, too.
Plus, being active and preparing healthy meals together are great ways to spend quality time with your family.
