Consent for Disclosure of Immunization Information
Consent for Disclosure of Immunization Information to Local and State Health Departments
Immunizations are an important part of keeping our children healthy. Schools and State and
Local health departments must monitor immunization levels to ensure that all communities
are protected from potentially life-threatening diseases and, if necessary, respond promptly
to an emerging public health threat. It is important that disease threats be minimized
through the monitoring of students being immunized. Sharing immunization and personally
identifiable information including the student’s name, date of birth, gender, and address
with local and state health departments will help to keep your child safe from vaccine
preventable diseases. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. §
1232g, requires written parental consent before personally identifiable information from
your child’s education records is disclosed to the health department. If your child is 18 or
over, he or she is an “eligible student” and must provide consent for disclosures of
information from his or her education records. You may withdraw your consent to share this
information in writing at any time.
___________________________________________________________________________
I authorize South Lyon Community Schools to release my child’s immunization record to the
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and Local Health Department. I
understand this information will be used to improve the quality and timeliness of
immunization services and to help schools comply with Michigan Law. This includes any
immunization information and limited personally identifiable information from the school.

Immunization Rule Change Since 1978, Michigan law has required children to be up-to-date with required immunizations ON or BEFORE the first day of school/childcare. A child who fails to meet this requirement will not be admitted to school/childcare. The following circumstances allow a required vaccine to be waived or delayed:
1. A valid medical contraindication exists, preventing the child from receiving the vaccine at this time. A medical waiver should be completed and signed by the child’s physician and should state the contraindication, vaccine involved, and time period during which the child is prevented from receiving the vaccine.
2. The parents/caregivers have valid religious or philosophical beliefs which prevent receipt of a vaccination. Waivers should not be taken lightly. A child who is not fully vaccinated against vaccine- preventable diseases could be a risk to others and for contracting the disease.
On December 11, 2014, the administrative rule was passed by Michigan Department of Community Health requiring any parent/guardian wanting to waive vaccine/vaccines for nonmedical reasons to receive vaccine education from their local health department. This rule applies to children entering childcare, kindergarten, and 7th grade or newly enrolled in the school district after January 1, 2015.
Oakland County Health Division (OCHD) will provide this education for Oakland County residents and/or those students attending Oakland County childcare facilities and/or schools at no cost, but appointments are required. The 30-minute education session will include information on the risks of not receiving vaccines and the benefits of vaccination to the individual and the community. This will allow parents to make an educated, informed choice for their child.
Parents/guardians deciding to immunize their child will be able to do so after the education session at the OCHD clinic or their own doctor. If the parent/guardian still wants to waive one or more vaccines, OCHD staff will provide a certified waiver. The parents will be required to provide the certified waiver to their child’s school.
You may schedule your appointment by calling 1-800-848-5533. Appointments are limited and scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. We look forward to working with you to keep you, your family, and your community healthy.
What you need for your appointment:
• Picture ID and guardianship papers, if foster parent • Official immunization record • Name of school / childcare
A Fact Sheet for Parents
What is a concussion? A concussion is a type of brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even what seems to be a mild bump to the head can be serious.
Concussions can have a more serious effect on a young, developing brain and need to be addressed correctly.
What are the signs and symptoms of a concussion? You can’t see a concussion. Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after an injury or may not appear or be noticed until hours or days after the injury. It is important to watch for changes in how your child or teen is acting or feeling, if symptoms are getting worse, or if s/he just “doesn’t feel right.” Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
If your child or teen reports one or more of the symptoms of concussion listed below, or if you notice the symptoms yourself, seek medical attention right away. Children and teens are among those at greatest risk for concussion.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A CONCUSSION SIGNS OBSERVED BY PARENTS OR GUARDIANS
• Appears dazed or stunned
• Is confused about events
the hit, bump, or fall
• Can’t recall events after the
hit, bump, or fall
Thinking/Remembering:
Physical:
• Nausea or vomiting
• Numbness or tingling
• Sleeps less than usual
• Sleeps more than usual
• Has trouble falling asleep
*Only ask about sleep symptoms if the injury occurred on a prior day.

Be alert for symptoms that worsen over time. Your child
or teen should be seen in an emergency department
right away if s/he has:
• One pupil (the black part in the middle of the eye) larger
than the other
• A headache that gets worse and does not go away
• Weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination
• Repeated vomiting or nausea
• Unusual behavior
should be taken seriously)
Children and teens with a concussion should NEVER return to sports or recreation activities on the same day the injury occurred. They should delay returning to their activities until a health care professional experienced in evaluating for concussion says they are symptom-free and it’s OK to return to play. This means, until permitted, not returning to:
• Physical Education (PE) class, • Sports practices or games, or • Physical activity at recess.
What should I do if my child or teen has a concussion? 1. Seek medical attention right away. A health care
professional experienced in evaluating for concussion can determine how serious the concussion is and when it is safe for your child or teen to return to normal activities, including physical activity and school (concentration and learning activities).
2. Help them take time to get better. If your child or teen has a concussion, her or his brain needs time to heal. Your child or teen may need to limit activities while s/he is recovering from a concussion. Exercising or activities that involve a lot of concentration, such as studying, working on the computer, or playing video games may cause concussion symptoms (such as headache or tiredness) to reappear or get worse. After a concussion, physical and cognitive activities—such as concentration and learning—should be carefully managed and monitored by a health care professional.
3. Together with your child or teen, learn more about concussions. Talk about the potential long-term effects of concussion and the dangers of returning too soon to normal activities (especially physical activity and learning/concentration). For more information about concussion and free resources, visit: www.cdc.gov/Concussion.
How can I help my child return to school safely after a concussion? Help your child or teen get needed support when returning to school after a concussion. Talk with your child’s teachers, school nurse, coach, speech- language pathologist, or counselor about your child’s concussion and symptoms. Your child may feel frustrated, sad, and even angry because s/he cannot return to recreation and sports right away, or cannot keep up with schoolwork. Your child may also feel isolated from peers and social networks. Talk often with your child about these issues and offer your support and encouragement. As your child’s symptoms decrease, the extra help or support can be removed gradually. Children and teens who return to school after a concussion may need to:
• Take rest breaks as needed, • Spend fewer hours at school, • Be given more time to take tests or
complete assignments, • Receive help with schoolwork, and/or • Reduce time spent reading, writing, or on
the computer.

Consent for Disclosure of Immunization Information
Consent for Disclosure of Immunization Information to Local and State Health Departments
Immunizations are an important part of keeping our children healthy. Schools and State and
Local health departments must monitor immunization levels to ensure that all communities
are protected from potentially life-threatening diseases and, if necessary, respond promptly
to an emerging public health threat. It is important that disease threats be minimized
through the monitoring of students being immunized. Sharing immunization and personally
identifiable information including the student’s name, date of birth, gender, and address
with local and state health departments will help to keep your child safe from vaccine
preventable diseases. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. §
1232g, requires written parental consent before personally identifiable information from
your child’s education records is disclosed to the health department. If your child is 18 or
over, he or she is an “eligible student” and must provide consent for disclosures of
information from his or her education records. You may withdraw your consent to share this
information in writing at any time.
___________________________________________________________________________
I authorize South Lyon Community Schools to release my child’s immunization record to the
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and Local Health Department. I
understand this information will be used to improve the quality and timeliness of
immunization services and to help schools comply with Michigan Law. This includes any
immunization information and limited personally identifiable information from the school.

As the parent or guardian of this student, I have read the Technology Acceptable Use Policy (ECH) for Technology and understand the terms of this agreement. I understand that student access to educational technology is a privilege which is conditioned upon the student's adherence to the Technology Acceptable Use Policy for Technology. I further understand that although the School District prohibits inappropriate use of technology, it is impossible to restrict all access in appropriate materials which may be available on the Internet or through other electronic communications.

Immunization Rule Change Since 1978, Michigan law has required children to be up-to-date with required immunizations ON or BEFORE the first day of school/childcare. A child who fails to meet this requirement will not be admitted to school/childcare. The following circumstances allow a required vaccine to be waived or delayed:
1. A valid medical contraindication exists, preventing the child from receiving the vaccine at this time. A medical waiver should be completed and signed by the child’s physician and should state the contraindication, vaccine involved, and time period during which the child is prevented from receiving the vaccine.
2. The parents/caregivers have valid religious or philosophical beliefs which prevent receipt of a vaccination. Waivers should not be taken lightly. A child who is not fully vaccinated against vaccine- preventable diseases could be a risk to others and for contracting the disease.
On December 11, 2014, the administrative rule was passed by Michigan Department of Community Health requiring any parent/guardian wanting to waive vaccine/vaccines for nonmedical reasons to receive vaccine education from their local health department. This rule applies to children entering childcare, kindergarten, and 7th grade or newly enrolled in the school district after January 1, 2015.
Oakland County Health Division (OCHD) will provide this education for Oakland County residents and/or those students attending Oakland County childcare facilities and/or schools at no cost, but appointments are required. The 30-minute education session will include information on the risks of not receiving vaccines and the benefits of vaccination to the individual and the community. This will allow parents to make an educated, informed choice for their child.
Parents/guardians deciding to immunize their child will be able to do so after the education session at the OCHD clinic or their own doctor. If the parent/guardian still wants to waive one or more vaccines, OCHD staff will provide a certified waiver. The parents will be required to provide the certified waiver to their child’s school.
You may schedule your appointment by calling 1-800-848-5533. Appointments are limited and scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. We look forward to working with you to keep you, your family, and your community healthy.
What you need for your appointment:
• Picture ID and guardianship papers, if foster parent • Official immunization record • Name of school / childcare
A Fact Sheet for Parents
What is a concussion? A concussion is a type of brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even what seems to be a mild bump to the head can be serious.
Concussions can have a more serious effect on a young, developing brain and need to be addressed correctly.
What are the signs and symptoms of a concussion? You can’t see a concussion. Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after an injury or may not appear or be noticed until hours or days after the injury. It is important to watch for changes in how your child or teen is acting or feeling, if symptoms are getting worse, or if s/he just “doesn’t feel right.” Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
If your child or teen reports one or more of the symptoms of concussion listed below, or if you notice the symptoms yourself, seek medical attention right away. Children and teens are among those at greatest risk for concussion.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A CONCUSSION SIGNS OBSERVED BY PARENTS OR GUARDIANS
• Appears dazed or stunned
• Is confused about events
the hit, bump, or fall
• Can’t recall events after the
hit, bump, or fall
Thinking/Remembering:
Physical:
• Nausea or vomiting
• Numbness or tingling
• Sleeps less than usual
• Sleeps more than usual
• Has trouble falling asleep
*Only ask about sleep symptoms if the injury occurred on a prior day.

Be alert for symptoms that worsen over time. Your child
or teen should be seen in an emergency department
right away if s/he has:
• One pupil (the black part in the middle of the eye) larger
than the other
• A headache that gets worse and does not go away
• Weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination
• Repeated vomiting or nausea
• Unusual behavior
should be taken seriously)
Children and teens with a concussion should NEVER return to sports or recreation activities on the same day the injury occurred. They should delay returning to their activities until a health care professional experienced in evaluating for concussion says they are symptom-free and it’s OK to return to play. This means, until permitted, not returning to:
• Physical Education (PE) class, • Sports practices or games, or • Physical activity at recess.
What should I do if my child or teen has a concussion? 1. Seek medical attention right away. A health care
professional experienced in evaluating for concussion can determine how serious the concussion is and when it is safe for your child or teen to return to normal activities, including physical activity and school (concentration and learning activities).
2. Help them take time to get better. If your child or teen has a concussion, her or his brain needs time to heal. Your child or teen may need to limit activities while s/he is recovering from a concussion. Exercising or activities that involve a lot of concentration, such as studying, working on the computer, or playing video games may cause concussion symptoms (such as headache or tiredness) to reappear or get worse. After a concussion, physical and cognitive activities—such as concentration and learning—should be carefully managed and monitored by a health care professional.
3. Together with your child or teen, learn more about concussions. Talk about the potential long-term effects of concussion and the dangers of returning too soon to normal activities (especially physical activity and learning/concentration). For more information about concussion and free resources, visit: www.cdc.gov/Concussion.
How can I help my child return to school safely after a concussion? Help your child or teen get needed support when returning to school after a concussion. Talk with your child’s teachers, school nurse, coach, speech- language pathologist, or counselor about your child’s concussion and symptoms. Your child may feel frustrated, sad, and even angry because s/he cannot return to recreation and sports right away, or cannot keep up with schoolwork. Your child may also feel isolated from peers and social networks. Talk often with your child about these issues and offer your support and encouragement. As your child’s symptoms decrease, the extra help or support can be removed gradually. Children and teens who return to school after a concussion may need to:
• Take rest breaks as needed, • Spend fewer hours at school, • Be given more time to take tests or
complete assignments, • Receive help with schoolwork, and/or • Reduce time spent reading, writing, or on
the computer.
To learn more about concussion and to order materials FREE-OF-CHARGE, go to: www.cdc.gov/Concussion or call 1.800.CDC.INFO.
Skylert (School Messenger) provides the District with the ability to send instant communication via phone, SMS text message, and email to parents and staff. Our goal is to utilize this effective and efficient communication system as part of our continuous effort in keeping staff, students and parents informed and safe!
In order for Skylert to be as effective as possible, we ask you to review and update your contact information and notification preferences in your Skyward Family Access account. We highly recommend updating your information, as we will be relaying important district updates during the school year.
To make changes to your Skylert preferences, log in to Skyward Family Access . (If you do not know your family access login and password, please contact your child’s school office.) Once logged-in, click on Skylert on the General Information menu on the left navigation bar. Your Skylert settings will display. If you desire to make changes, click on Edit on the right of the screen. Please contact your child’s school office staff if you have questions regarding changes to your Skylert account.
Note: Only Primary Guardians are able to update the Skylert primary contact information via Family Access.
The Skylert notification system allows South Lyon Community Schools the ability to disseminate information to parents and staff by way of three notification types: Emergency, General, and Attendance. Emergency notifications will reference events such as school closings, safety related incidents, and other emergency notifications determined by District administrators. General notifications are for informational purposes only and will reference various District and school events and information.
Attendance notifications will only be generated if your student has an unexcused absence for one or more periods during an instructional day.
