Nursing Services and Medication Immunizations Immunizations are required by Louisiana State Law (Bulletin 741 §703.A1i) to be included in Student Records for enrollment in school. Louisiana Key Academy allows for a one-time 30-day period from the time of school registration and allows for 21 days transferring of health/student records for a student enrolling in a new school.

There are two exceptions.

1. If the student’s physician believes the immunizations are medically inadvisable, a written statement to that effect signed by the physician must be given to the school each school year.

2. If you have a religious or philosophical objection to immunizations, you must write a statement indicating your objections and provide it to the school at the beginning of each school year.

Please be aware that students, who have a waiver of immunization either for medical or religious or philosophical reasons, will be excluded from school if there is an outbreak of a disease for which the student is not immunized.

Medication If your child requires medication during school hours, please contact the office to request a Medical Administration Form (MAF). By law, medication cannot be administered to your child until your child’s physician has completed the form. The requirement pertains to all medicine, including aspirin, Tylenol, and other over-the-counter medicines. A log of all medicines administered on campus will be kept in the nurse’s office.
