Once the child’s parental consent forms are received by the school nurse, or delivered to MSC, your child will have access to all services provided by the nurse practitioner, licensed social workers, dental hygienist and the dietitian.

Yes, your child can still enroll at MSC. We are in close contact with your child’s PCP to provide continuity of care.

If you wish to use the Meridian Schools Clinic (MSC), please contact Meridian Schools Clinic at (208) 514-2527 from 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM Monday through Friday.  For your child(ren)’s first visit, you will be asked to provide:

• Health history
• Immunization Records
• MSC patient registration forms, if not already on file
• Insurance / Medicaid card if eligible 

Should your child get ill during the school day, your school nurse or one of the MSC staff will attempt to contact you to coordinate care.

Yes. All children enrolled at MSC will still have access to services provided by the school nurse regardless of their status with MSC. In fact for children without an appointment for routine primary care who become sick or injured at school, the school nurse is the first step in coming to the clinic.

If you have a signed parental consent form on file and your child goes to the school nurse because they feel sick or are injured at school, the school nurse will review the concern and make a decision if the child would benefit from referral to the MSC. If the nurse thinks your child would benefit from being sent over to the clinic, the nurse will contact the clinic and we will contact you to let you know that your child has been referred to the clinic. 

Assuming you agree, we will then make arrangements to have the child seen that day at our clinic.  We will then notify you of our findings.  If the child is able to return to school, he or she will be sent back to the classroom after going to the clinic.  If the child needs to go home, we will let you know that and you can pick your child up at the school nurses office.
