Health Histories

A health history form is to be filled out by parents/guardians upon entering 4K. I review all health histories for children attending the Lake Mills Area School District and compile health concern lists for each grade level. This information is shared with staff so that we may better care for your child during their school day. If there are any changes in your child's health, please notify the office or myself as soon as possible.

Physicals

Daycare center 4K sites require physicals for incoming 4K students. These are required by law for the daycare. In addition, your child will need a physical when starting 5K along with an eye and dental exam. Forms for the 5K exams are mailed home to you at the end of 4K and are located electronically on our district health website.

Immunizations

By Wisconsin state law, the school is responsible for assuring that all student's immunizations are up to date or that a signed waiver is on record for all children within the school. Each parent/guardian is responsible for notifying the school in writing of immunizations received. By law, the school is to receive the first date of each vaccine required by the 30th day of school, the second date by the 90th day of school, and any remaining dates by the 30th day of school the following year. According to the law, failure to notify the school may result in court action and a fine of up to $25 per day of violation by the Jefferson County District Attorney's office.

Medication

The school district has a medication policy and a letter summarizing its contents for parents/guardians and students. Click here to view. Points to remember are:

• All medication, including prescription medications, need to be kept in the office (locked cupboard) with the medication form (except emergency medications such as inhalers). Students will come to the office to take their medication dose.
• All medication should be in the original manufacturer's container or pharmacy container when brought to school.
• No medication will be administered to students without the proper forms completed and filed in the office.
• The Lake Mills Area School District does not stock any medications in the health rooms unless parents have brought medication to the school to be used for their child.
• There is a separate medication form used for emergency planning for severe allergies - on the same website as the other medication forms.

Best wishes to you and your child as they begin their school experience at Lake Mills Elementary School!
