Student Health

Immunizations
Students in grades 3K - Grade 8 are required by the State of Wisconsin to have the following immunizations:
  • 3K-4K (ages 2-4): 4 DTP/DTaP/DT, 3 Polio, 3 Hep B, 1 MMR, 1 VAR
  • 5K-Grade 6: 5 DTP/DTaP/DT/Td, 4 Polio, 3 Hep B, 2 MMR, 2 VAR, 1 HPV
  • Grade 7-Grade 8: 5 DTP/DTaP/DT/Td, 4 Polio, 3 Hep B, 2 MMR, 2 VAR, 1 Tdap, 1 HPV, 1 MenACWY

Proof of immunization is required 30 days after school begins or 30 days after a new student registers. Failure to do so may result in court action, fines, or exclusion from school. If you do not wish to have your child immunized due to health concerns, religious reasons or personal conviction reasons, you must sign a Student Immunization Record Waiver. In the event of an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease, unimmunized students with signed waivers may be temporarily excluded from school attendance for public health safety.

Blood Borne Pathogens: Our present policy requires notification of all contagious/communicable diseases.

Sleep
Proper rest is imperative to a child’s education. Doctors recommend that elementary school children get at least 9-10 hours of sleep every night. Parents are asked to ensure that their student is getting enough sleep.

Illness
If your child is ill, please do not send them to school. Please CONTACT the office before 8:30 am at 262-547-8020 or email tls@trinitywels.com. Students must be fever, vomit, and diarrhea free for 24 hours before returning to school without the use of symptom-suppressing medication.

Illness During School
If a child becomes ill during the school day, the parent/guardian will be notified and asked to pick up the child. Please make sure that emergency contact information is kept current.
