When Children Are Healthy They Can Learn Better
At Kansas City Kansas Public Schools, we are committed to the health and wellness of our students and our community. School Nurses at Kansas City Kansas Public Schools support student learning by promoting health and safety at each preschool, elementary, middle and high school. School nurses function as part of the school’s multidisciplinary team to bridge the gap between health, wellness, and learning.
Students must be current on their immunizations for attendance, in accordance with Kansas statute 72-6261
- Students must have a current physical on file with the nurse
Students must have a completed Student Health Form on file with the nurse
If the student requires emergency medications (Diastat, EpiPen, Albuterol, etc), updated medication authorization forms must be on file with the nurse
If the student requires any medications, treatments or procedures, while at school, physicians’ orders for the 2020-2021 must also be obtained and be on file with the nurse
Emergency contact information must be provided
Due to current concerns for public health, the above are required for attendance without exception.
