Student Life

Health and Wellness

All students must have a current physical on file with the school nurse. 
Concordia Prep employs a full-time school nurse on campus during school hours. The nurse evaluates students who become ill during the school day and contacts their parents as appropriate. Students who become ill and wish to see the nurse must get permission from their teacher before reporting to the health room. Students who wish to go home due to illness must first see the nurse and should not call home on their own.

All health services for the school, including the following, are coordinated through the health office:
