There is much for a parent to do at the beginning of a school year!  Thank you for reviewing all the elements on this page - there's a lot, we know, so be sure to scroll all the way to the end.  Required paperwork is needed prior to the first day of school - September 3rd.  If you have questions or need anything in completing this task, please feel free to contact us.

Administrative Paperwork - Fill Out & Turn In

1  *REQUIRED ANNUALLY*
An Emergency Contact Form is required each year for each child.  

Directions:  Use either the PDF form or the Word form - the cursor will only go in the gray boxes where information is needed.  Navigate from box-to-box with the tab or arrow keys.  The PDF form will need to be printed after you fill it out and turned in to us as a hard copy - the information you input will not save.  The Word form would need to be saved to your computer, filled out, and can then emailed or printed and turned in.  Either form can be printed and filled out by hand.
2  *REQUIRED INFORMATION - UPDATE AS NECESSARY*
Current Immunization records must be on file for each child.  The complete record is required upon enrollment, then please submit any updates as your child receives subsequent vaccinations.  For children entering their kindergarten year, we must have record of the 4-5 year old round of immunizations prior to the first day of school. 

All records are reviewed by our office and by the Flathead City-County Health Department. If your child is off-schedule, you will be notified.  Children who are off-schedule may attend with a Conditional Attendance arranged with your child's doctor or the Health Department.  Please contact the office regarding immunization exemptions.
