Medical Information
KMS encourages student-athletes to take responsibility for their current and continuing well-being while also recognizing that they are adolescents who can use continued guidance in doing so.  We recognize that prevention and good general health is the most effective way for the community to remain healthy, but we do provide access to top-quality medical services as needed. 
Students are strongly encouraged to get flu shots, H1N1 flu shots, and Meningitis vaccinations prior to arriving at KMS.

Forms
In keeping with the requirements of the Vermont School Health Department, parents must fill out and return all medical histories and releases. All students are required to be fully immunized and parents are required to provide proof of immunization dates. All medical information and forms must be returned to KMS prior to the beginning of school.

Annual Physical
Student-athletes are required to have an annual physical examination. Student-athletes will not be allowed to participate in training unless a physical exam has been completed.

Medications
Prescription medications must be noted on the student-athlete’s health form and arrangements made with the dorm supervisor to administer the medication. Unless otherwise arranged with dorm staff, dorm supervisor must store all prescription and over-the-counter medications. Over-the-counter medications are available to KMS student-athletes if their parents have provided permission on the student’s health form.

Medical Insurance
We also ask for assurance that parents carry adequate medical and accident insurance. This is especially important due to the amount of traveling that student-athletes do during the course of the year.

Sick or Injured Student-Athletes
KMS has on staff a registered and emergency room nurse who is at the school one day per week and is available on an as-needed basis. If a student requires more medical attention, a staff member will accompany him or her to The Mountain Clinic at Killington. Parents will be required to pay the clinic directly and submit medical reimbursement forms if desired.  Please verify how this might work with your insurance prior to the start of the school year. If a student requires emergency medical attention, KMS will send the student with a staff member to the local hospital, Rutland Regional Medical Center.
