LTA Health Office

The LTA Health Office is dedicated to supporting the health needs of our students during all school hours. Our team includes a full-time health paraprofessional and a Registered Nurse who is available several days each week.

We are committed to working with your family and your child’s medical provider to address health concerns, including but not limited to:

• Daily and as-needed medication (both over-the-counter and prescription)
• Asthma
• Diabetes
• Seizures
• Severe allergies/anaphylaxis

Additionally, we are available to assess any illness or injury that may arise during school hours.

Important Information for Parents

Annual Health Information Form

Parents are required to fill out an annual health information form to help us provide the best care for your child. This form can be completed by logging into your parent PowerSchool account and navigating to the “forms” tab.

Medications

All medications, including over-the-counter ones, require a completed medication form signed by your child’s physician. Students are not allowed to bring or self-administer any medication at school. Medication forms and action plans are available below.

Immunization Requirements

Colorado law mandates that all students be immunized against certain communicable diseases. Detailed information about required immunizations and the process for filing a non-medical exemption can be found here. If filing a non-medical exemption, please complete the online module, print and sign the exemption form, and return it to the health room.

Illness Guidelines

District 49, including LTA, adheres to the Illness Guidelines provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Children’s Hospital Colorado. These guidelines help determine when to send or keep your child home based on their symptoms. You can find these guidelines here.

Phones in the Classroom

Students are not permitted to use classroom or personal phones to contact parents in the event of illness. All illness-related communications must go through the health room; otherwise, the absence will not be excused.

We look forward to a healthy and safe school year at LTA!
