Dr. Notes

Students are only allowed 6 Parent Excuses (AE) per school year, so please make sure that Doctor’s notes are being brought to the Jr High office after the appointment.  That note will change that absence in Skyward from a parent excuse - AE to a doctor excuse. After they have used all 6 parent excuses, they will be counted as unexcused - AU.  


NO Double Bus Routes 12-20-22

*Any transportation changes need to be made before 2:00, so we can get students where they need to go. 

*PLEASE DIRECT ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING LATE BUSES TO THE BUS GARAGE. THEY CAN BE REACHED AT (217)498-9834

Sign Up for Student Health Services:

We want all students to have access to student health services. With Hazel Health, students now have access to doctor visits right from the school nurse’s office, and virtual visits from home.  

 We’re launching our health services program for this school year, and we want to make sure your family has access to these services all year long. Our district is hosting a Consent for Care Drive to ensure 100% of families learn about our student health services from Hazel Health. With Hazel, students can immediately speak with a Hazel doctor right from school or at home.

On-demand health services include:

  • 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 return to school communications

Parents - Please sign the Consent for Care form to ensure your child has access to these services:

 my.hazel.co/rochester3a/consent

If you have already completed the form, thank you! Help us reach 100% of families by reminding your fellow Rochester families to opt-in or opt-out of this new service.
