Our school nurses help maintain a healthy learning environment by:
-
Administering medications

The State of Indiana requires every child enrolled in an accredited school to be immunized as determined by the state department of health (I.C. 20-34-4-2). It is the responsibility of HSE Schools to maintain current and accurate records of immunizations for each student. The Indiana State Department of Health has created a calendar or schedule for vaccines required for students by age.
STATE-REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS FOR STUDENTS
If your student cannot get vaccinated per Indiana requirements, an exemption form must be completed and submitted to the nurse of the school your student attends. Medical and religious exemption forms are linked below.
