Clinic Information
7th grade immunization requirements: The two vaccines that are required by law are Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) and the Meningococcal vaccine (serogroups A, C, W, and Y). A current immunization record that includes these must be submitted to the MS office or emailed to Tricia Moore, RN at mooret@blsk12.org.
12th grade immunization requirements: Meningococcal vaccine (serogroups A, C, W, and Y) prior to entry into the 12th grade. They may have already received one dose of this vaccine, but a second dose is required if the first dose was given prior to their 16th birthday. If the first dose of meningococcal vaccine was administered after the 16th birthday, a second dose is not required. After receiving the vaccine, please provide the high school office with documentation from your doctor or the health department or email to Tricia Moore, RN at mooret@blsk12.org.
Immunization Exemptions: If your child is not up to date on their immunizations because of a medical, philosophical, or religious exemption, a new exemption form should be completed each school year and submitted to the clinic or emailed to mooret@blsk12.org. The exemption form is available on the school website.
Vision/Hearing Exams: If your child has had a vision or hearing evaluation/exam within the last year please submit a copy to Heather Kemper, RN at kemperh@blsk12.org. If we have this on file, we will not need to screen your child's vision/hearing during the school year.
If a child will need to have medication administered to them during the school day, a medication authorization form must be completed by the physician and signed by the parent. The form for medications as well as care plans for Asthma, Seizures, Food Allergies, and Diabetics are on the website. A new medication authorization form must be submitted each school year.
PLEASE UPDATE medications and medical history including allergies in Final Forms. We use this information to keep your child safe!
Transportation Information
It is our goal to release bus routes in a timely manner. As soon as all necessary details are complete, we will make an announcement via one call and on the district social media. You will be able to access the routes in the news and live feed sections of our district website, as well as on social media platforms.
*Bus routes are subject to change
Vans from Early Beginnings provide transportation from their facility to Bethel and from Bethel to their facility in the afternoon.
Transportation has a scheduled stop at Wee Care Child care. You can contact them at (937) 845 – 2241
We do offer transportation to private individual homes for childcare, if you are interested in having your child(ren) transported to a home other than your own, it is required that parents specify those details in the transportation section of Final Forms. We can then place the student on the correct bus. If there are any questions or changes, please contact me.
