Health Concerns: Students with any life threatening medical conditions (seizures, asthma, cardiac condition, diabetes, allergy requiring an Epipen, or other significant condition) are required to have an Individual Health Plan (IHP), a signed authorization to Administer Medication form for each medication, and their emergency rescue medications at the school BEFORE the first day of school. If these are not received, the guardian will be called by the principal to pick up their student immediately. These forms and more information can be found on the LWSD website.

High School & Beyond: Did you know that HS&B is a graduation requirement? Lessons and activities will be presented to students during homeroom and students will use CareerCruising/Xello to complete their High School & Beyond Plans each school year.

Immunizations: Students are required to be in compliance with immunization requirements at the start of each school year. Immunization requirements are listed on the Department of Health website. Please check with your student's health care provider to verify your student meets the state immunization requirements.

Medications at School: If a student requires any prescription or non-prescription medication while at school, an Authorization to Administer Medication form is required for EACH medication. The form must be signed by both the guardian and the health care provider AND the orders must match the medication exactly. All medications must be brought to school by the guardian. At the end of the school year, the guardian needs to pick up the medication. Emergency rescue medication will not be released until the end of the last day of school. Any medications not picked up at the end of the school year will be destroyed.

You will be able to access your student's classroom and grade book information, view their attendance, add money to their lunch account, pay their class fees/fines and sign up to volunteer.
