🏥 Health & Safety Reminders for a Strong Start

Boise School District is committed to supporting your child’s health and safety so they are ready to learn and succeed. Our schools provide important health services, such as:

✅ Health screenings (dental, vision, hearing, spinal)

✅ Support for students with health conditions

✅ First aid and medication (with parental consent)

✅ Optional immunization clinics and on-site services at select schools

Idaho law requires parental consent before schools can provide medical services to students—including routine first—except in life‑threatening emergencies.

Please make sure your child’s health information and consent forms are up to date in Infinite Campus.

➡️ Need immunizations? The Central District Health Department offers year-round immunization clinics for children ages 0–18. Call 208-327-7450 to make an appointment, or visit the Central District Health website ».
