They write Individual Health Plans (IHPs) and attend Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings. They function as a member of the building staff and are a liaison between other healthcare professionals, educators, students and their families.

Student Health Records

  • The pupil health record is an accurate, efficient system for the collection of health data. Information pertinent to the student to ensure a student’s safety in school is requested upon entrance into Lakeville Area Schools. Parents are then encouraged to notify the Health Office when the student has experienced a medical condition that would affect the student’s safety in school or ability to learn. Information is considered confidential and shared only with school personnel on a need-to-know basis. 

    The health record also includes medical information that is observed at school. Emergency cards are provided yearly to parents so student information is current and accurate. They are sent home the first week of school. Emergency cards should be filled out to update requested information and newly diagnosed medical conditions and then be returned to the Health Office.
