In order to attend school, students must show they are in compliance with Minnesota State Immunization Requirements.
Whenever possible, the parent or guardian should make arrangements so that it is not necessary for school personnel to administer a medication to a student. However, there are cases when a student's health could be compromised by not getting medication during school hours.
Screenings
At this time, EPS will not be doing grade level vision and hearing screening at the elementary sites or vision screens in 7th grade this year. If you feel your student’s vision or hearing should be screened, please contact your school health office and an individual screen will be done using precautions for COVID19. If your student’s teacher notices a concern, the teacher can also contact the health office staff. You will be contacted for permission prior to any screen and called back with the results. Thank you for your understanding - Health Services Staff.
Students are screened in the following grades:
- Vision: Grades 1, 3, 5, 7
- Vision Color Deficiency: Grade 1, boys only
- Hearing: Grades K, 1, 2
Any additional screening will be done by request. Parents will be notified of students who do not pass screening.

The district does not purchase medical, health or accident insurance for students. If a student has an accident, becomes ill, or is injured while at school or participating in district-sponsored activities, families will need to access their own insurance plans.
