Hazel Heath
We’re launching our health services program for this school year, and we want to make sure your family has access to these services all year long. Our district is hosting a Consent for Care Drive to ensure 100% of families learn about our student health services from Hazel Health. With Hazel, students can immediately speak with a Hazel doctor right from school or at home.
On-demand health services include:
Medical treatment: For stomach aches, headaches, sprained ankles, asthma concerns, and everything in between
Medication: Prescriptions written or over-the-counter provided at school when needed
Coordination: With family physician and return to school communications
Parents - Please sign the Consent for Care form to ensure your child has access to these services: my.hazel.co/rochester3a
If you have already completed the form, thank you! You can help us reach 100% of families this week by reminding your fellow Rochester CUSD 3A families to opt-in to this service during our drive.
Few reminders about RJHS:

The tardy bell rings at 8:05 which means that students should be in class, ready to learn by 8:05.
School is dismissed at 3:05.
Lunch is 12:22 - 12:52
Students should bring a plastic water bottle (with a lid). Water fountains are not available, although we do have bottle filling stations.
Parent drop-off & pick-up is on the NORTH side of the building, near the auditorium doors (across the parking lot from the football field). Buses will drop-off & pick-up on the SOUTH side (route 29 side) of the building.
Please make sure your student's chromebook is charged and ready to go tomorrow morning!
Student phones should be turned off and out of sight during the school day, although students are allowed to use them at lunch time. Airpods/earbuds/headphones are only to be used in class when directed by the teacher such as when students are independently watching videos for instruction.
