  • Absences must be reported daily, except in the case of vacation (please include start and end dates in the notification). If your student is absent due to illness for 3+ consecutive days, a doctor’s note must be provided to excuse them.

  • Unreported Absences will be considered unexcused.

Student Immunizations

Please send your required immunization and health forms to the school. We need these important records as soon as possible to prepare our staff and equip our health office to meet your child’s needs on day one of school.

Students legally cannot start school unless they’ve submitted their records and are current on immunizations or have submitted the appropriate exception form.

Screenings & Health Services

Agamim provides hearing and vision screening each year for new students and on a rotational basis for various grade levels. Families are notified of screening schedules in school newsletters.

We also contract each year with a local dentist to provide free dental care to families who qualify.

Seizure Smart School

Agamim is a Seizure Smart School!

Starting in 2021, MN law requires schools to be Seizure Smart. We partner with the MN Epilepsy Foundation each year to keep our Seizure Smart School status. To be considered Seizure Smart, schools must have met three criteria: All students with epilepsy/seizures have an updated action plan on file at school, school nurses and school staff providing medical care are trained in seizure response, and all school staff are trained in seizure response.
