Hazel Health
We want to make sure every student has the option to access our student health services from day one. Be sure to take part in our Consent for Care Drive by signing the form at my.hazel.co/rochester3a. If you have already completed the form, thank you!
Why sign up?
When students are not feeling well, they often miss more school when they can’t see a doctor. We are making doctor visits available to all students through Hazel, so they can receive medical care and return to learning faster. Wondering whether your child has allergies or a potential flu? Your child says they have a headache that just won’t go away, and you’re not sure whether it’s serious? Will you need to leave work to drop off medicine at school?
Hazel can help by providing HIPAA-compliant video doctor visits through your school nurse’s office or from home. Hazel is a trusted resource for extended student health services, including:
Medical treatment: For stomach aches, headaches, sprained ankles, asthma concerns, and everything in between
Medication: Prescriptions written or over-the-counter provided at school when needed
Coordination: With family physician and school
Sign the form at this link now to be prepared for student health this school year: my.hazel.co/rochester3a
Parents who are unable to sign the form today can still sign up at any time during the school year. We encourage you to do this early, so you are prepared for student health this year.
