Please report the completed immunizations to LRCS. Documentation can be faxed to the school at (218)828-1643. If immunizations are needed, you may go to your family doctor or make an appointment with Crow Wing County Health by calling (218) 824-1080. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact the school office at (218) 828-1226.
If you conscientiously object to your child being immunized or if a doctor certifies that it would be unhealthy for your child to be immunized, you may complete a statement indicating the exemption. This form can be picked up in the LRCS school office. Please return it as soon as possible.
