Health Services

Welcome to the Central City Community Schools Health Services home page!

We feel that healthy children are successful learners, and we aspire to work with parents and families to ensure that our district children are cared for at school.

Please review each student’s electronic PowerSchool records and update health data and emergency contact information at least yearly. 

• If your student has a health concern that is new, or you feel that a listed health concern that no longer needs to be addressed, please make changes in the Health Concerns area.
• Updated Emergency Contact information is critically important to include with registration each year. Please ensure that you provide emergency contacts that can respond in a timely manner in the event that we cannot reach you if your student is ill or injured at school.

Students with certain known health concerns are required to have current health forms on file in order for the school to meet their care needs.  Health forms are signed by your child’s physician, and need to be renewed each school year.  The following are common school health concerns:

• Asthma (especially with inhaler and/or nebulizer needs)
• Allergies
• Diabetes
• Food Allergies and Anaphylaxis (food or environmental allergies that require an Epi-Pen)
• Health Concerns that require an Emergency Plan at school (heart conditions, bleeding disorders, etc.) or specialized care (feeding tubes, medication ports, etc.)
• Medication Administration at School (prescription and long-term over-the-counter medications)
• Seizures

If you have a question regarding a health concern or about any of the health forms, please contact the school Health Office.  You can reach us at 319-438-6181 ext. 5124.

We look forward to working with students and families to ensure that our student health needs are safely and efficiently addressed!
