Health Services

We know that staying physically healthy is critical to engage in learning.

This school year, starting soon, we’re proud to offer all students $0 access to licensed medical providers from any device through our partnership with Hazel Health. Your child can see a member of Hazel’s care team online from the convenience of school or home — and your consent in advance ensures we’ll be ready to help whenever they need it. 

Hazel providers can diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication when needed for common concerns like: 

• Stomach-aches
• Headaches
• Allergies
• Sore throat
• and more

While we can’t always plan for these, taking 5 minutes to provide your consent here means a smoother health visit if and when one is needed. 

Thank you, and here’s to your child’s health!

CDPHE Vaccine Exemption Information

Jeffco Public Schools' Department of Health Services provides health consultation and resources to support students and their families.

Each school has a district Registered Nurse (RN) who consults with students, families, school staff and administration. Ask your student’s school for their district RN contact details and notify the RN if your student has a health need that requires support during the school day.

Each school also has a school health aide who does day-to-day care of students such as medication, Band-Aids, and ice.

Keep your student’s health concerns updated at registration and as conditions change during the school year. It is important for Jeffco to have current contact information of families.

When Students and Staff Should Stay Home

Jeffco follows the recommendations from Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) on when students and staff should stay home from school, work or childcare. District RNs provide guidance to school administration following the How Sick is Too Sick document.

The best ways to stop the spread of infection is through good hand washing and staying home when sick.

Immunizations

Colorado law requires all students attending Colorado schools and licensed childcare centers to be vaccinated against certain diseases unless a medical or non-medical exemption is filed.
