Did you know that AGWSR's Health Office has a website?!
**It's worth saving in your bookmarks!**
The idea is for you to be able to get your questions answered at anytime of the day/year. There is information for just about everything "Health Office" you can imagine. From 'what health paperwork does my kiddo need' to District and State Policies.
There are resources for parents/guardians/caregivers, students, and community members.
*Disclaimer: I have found that the state changes their site often, links put up in August 2024 may have changed, or gone away.*
You can find this website by going to agwsr.org, "Parents" dropdown and clicking on AGWSR Health.
