Health Office Updates
Medication:
If your child requires the administration of medication at school please bring a copy of orders from a Health Care Provider, sign a parent permission and speak to the school nurse.
New Students to Standing Bear:
Out of State Requirements include a copy of immunizations and a recent physical by a Health Care Provider. These can be turned into the Health Office or faxed to 531-299-2158.
Health Information for Kindergarten Families:
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! An email was sent this summer about Nebraska state law, which requires all kindergarten students have a physical exam, vision evaluation, and be up to date on all immunizations before school starts.
If your child hasn’t had their exams or the required vaccines, please schedule an appointment with your child’s healthcare provider or School-Based Health Center as soon as possible.
Be sure all health records are sent to the school nurse. If you have already submitted the physical and vision exams and vaccine record, no additional paperwork is needed at this time.
Health Requirements:
□ Copy of the physical exam and vision evaluation (required by state law)
□ Copy of current immunization record (required by state law)
- 3 doses of DTaP, DTP, DT, or TD vaccine, one given on or after the 4th birthday
- 3 doses of Polio vaccine
- 3 doses of pediatric Hepatitis B vaccine
- 2 doses of MMR or MMRV vaccine, given on or after 12 months of age, separated by at least one month
- 2 doses of varicella (chickenpox) or MMRV given on or after 12 months of age. If your child has had varicella (chickenpox), they do not need any varicella vaccines. Written documentation must be provided (including month and year) of varicella disease from the parent/guardian or health care provider
