SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES and INFORMATION
In a partnership with the Cumberland Family Medical Center, we have established satellite Child Health clinics in each of our five school buildings.  Parents may make appointments for school physical exams and immunizations.  The nurses also provide case-management of chronic health conditions.  If your child has been diagnosed with an illness that requires a health service during school hours, please contact the nurse at your child's school or the school health coordinator.

 

HEALTH RECORDS REQUIRED FOR ENROLLMENT

To enroll a child in the McCreary County School System, you must provide the following health documents to the school:

  • Valid Kentucky Immunization Certificate 1         New shot requirements effective July 1, 2011
  • Preventative Health Care Examination Form (KDE form)2
  • Kentucky Eye Exam Form for School Entry  (for 3, 4, 5, and 6 year olds)3
  • Kentucky Dental Screening/Examination Form for School Entry  (for 5 and 6 year olds)4

 

If your child needs to receive an immunization, or "booster shot," check with the nurse at the school that your child attends.  The nurse can tell you what is available and make an appointment for you at the school clinic.

Please contact the school counselor or the school health office for questions regarding necessary forms.
