A Note from Ms. Olson
If you have a child in the following grades: Preschool, Kindergarten, 6th grade or you are a new student, please make sure your child has a Certificate of Child Health Exam on file for the 2025-2026 school year. These forms should be emailed to healt...@gosaintandrew.com. Additionally, it is unfortunately that time of the school year where we are experiencing an increase in the amount of Head Lice cases. We ask that you please be diligent in checking your student’s scalp. If you should find it present in your child, the entire household should be checked as well and please keep us informed. If you have any questions regarding health forms or a specific concern, please email me: kelle...@gosaintandrew.com
