The MVCSC Health Services Handbook provides a reference of medical protocols for parents/guardians of MVCSC students that are used in everyday dealings by health services and MVCSC staff with student health needs. It does not address all health issues in the schools, nor does it include all forms used in the various school health services programs.

To protect all students, Indiana law requires each child enrolled in school to be completely immunized against communicable diseases. A complete record of his/her immunizations must be kept on file in the school office. For students new to the school system, including kindergartners, this record must be on file before the child can attend classes at the start of school.  

Please view the Indiana Department of Health School Immunization Requirements for more information. Incoming sixth graders are required to have the Tdap and Meningitis booster vaccines and 12th graders are required to have the Meningitis booster vaccine before the first day of school.

Check out the Indiana State Department of Health's HPV and Meningitis Vaccines Information from the CDC website.

If you have not already done so, please submit documentation of the required immunizations to MVCSC Nurse by fax at 317-482-4113, or mail to:

MVCSC School Nurse
1806 W. State Road 234
Fortville, IN 46040

If accurate documentation is not received, students will be excluded (unexcused) from school until the documentation is received. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please call Tracy Furnas. at 485-3100. Thank you for your attention to this very important Indiana State Law that involves your student's health and education.

Indiana State Law also requires schools to do annual vision screenings on 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 8th-grade students. This is just a screening so if a student should need further testing by a doctor, a note will be sent to the parent/guardian suggesting such. If you wish, you can choose to not have your student's vision screened by sending a note to Tracy Furnas or your student's Health Room Assistant.
