Elizabeth Schools Health Services addresses the health needs of all students and staff for the Elizabeth School District. Health Services consists of one district nurse who trains school personnel in each building to implement a plan of action to ensure the safety of all the students.

All schools have an identified person who is an Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) (Health Technician or Office Staff), who acts in a complementary role to the professional nurse. The nurse delegates to the UAP the general safety plans involving CPR, basic first aid, the care of students with chronic health conditions, the care of ill students, and medication administration.

The Elizabeth School District follows COVID-19 guidelines set forth by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE). 

The newest COVID-19 guidelines and recommendations were released in March 2024. Exclusion guidance for individuals who test positive for COVID-19 now aligns with guidance for other respiratory viruses, including flu and RSV.

Individuals with COVID-19 should stay home until the symptoms improve and the individual has been fever free (without medication) for 24 hours. 

Symptoms of COVID-19 may include cough, runny nose, sore throat, tiredness, body aches, fever, chills, and new loss of taste or smell. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure. 

In compliance with Titles VI & VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and Colorado law, the Elizabeth School District does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, age, marital status, sexual orientation (which includes transgender), genetic information, conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth, disability or need for special education services in admissions, access to, treatment, or employment in educational programs or activities which it operates.
