Student Health

Form 3300 is now required by law for any student entering a Georgia school for the first time either as a four year old or a new student in any grade pre-K through 12th grade.

These forms are a screening tool and can be completed by either your health care provider or the Chatham County Health Department.

Please remember to have your child’s immunizations updated and a current copy needs to be on file at the school per Georgia law. We are required to have form 3231 this can be obtained from either your physician or Chatham County Health Department.

To view the complete schedule please see web site under immunizations: www.aap.org (American Academy of Pediatrics) or talk to your health care provider for further information. Any student without a current immunization certificate on file 30 days after commencement of school will not be permitted back to school per Georgia law until one is on file. It is recommended that you keep the original and send a copy to school. If your child receives immunizations during the school year please send the updated form to the school nurse either by fax: 912 961-8747 or mail to 824, Stillwood Drive, Savannah, GA 31419.

School policy requires that all students who have been prescribed an Epi-Pen or inhaler by their physician are to have one to be kept in the infirmary should an emergency arise and preferably one in their book bag or to be kept with them at all times.

It would also be helpful to have a Food Allergy Action Plan if your child has a food allergy. Your physician will have these forms or you can download here: Food Allergy Action Plan Download

Parents should bring the original prescription container directly to the nurse with the child's name, grade, and dosage clearly marked. 

Students whose parents have given permission may visit the nurse if they need over-the-counter medications during the school day. We have two nebulizer machines to administer breathing treatments if prescribed by the student’s physician.
