From the District and our Nurse..
Please note that Nebraska state law requires out-of-state transfer students to submit a physical exam including the vision evaluation.
These exams must be within 6 months of school starting
This does not need to be from a Nebraska physician.
The vision exam must address the 5 components of the amblyopia, strabismus, internal and external eye health, and visual acuity or they may have a vision spot screener exam. If your student wears glasses, this will also count as a vision exam.
Please also note that Nebraska state law requires all incoming 7th graders to submit a physical exam within 6 months of school starting.
New 7th grade students entering from an out of state school are counted as an out of state transfer students; therefore, would also need the vision exam as noted above.
The physical and vision exam also includes any students entering school for the first time at any grade level from a home-school setting. The parent or guardian may only opt out of this if they submit a written waiver.
We do accept physical exams on other forms or computer generated forms from physicians.
Schools may exclude a student from school if the state mandated immunizations are not submitted prior to the first day of school.
The schools are required to have the immunization record on file prior to the student attendance.
If your student is an instate transfer student, you only need to provide the immunization series dates. No physical or vision exam is required.
Power of the Paw
Power of the Paw is awarded to students who demonstrate our Badger behavior expectations of being respectful, responsible, safe and kind. These students have gone above and beyond these expectations.
