The Finney County Health Department will be at the USD 457 Enrollment Event to provide immunizations for any student to get them ready for the 2025-26 school year. Parents will need to bring their insurance card to present to the department for the immunizations.
Our Enrollment Event is only 4 days away!
One of the first things you'll do at the event is finalize enrollment. New students need: birth certificate, immunization record, proof of address, and photo ID. Returning students only need to bring documents showing changes from last year, such as proof that an address has changed or an updated immunization record. If a student's birth certificate is not already on file, that will also be required.
You will also have the opportunity to pay yearly fees. If your enrollment is already finalized and you've received a confirmation email, you can beat the lines and pay your fees online at https://payments.efundsforschools.com/v3/districts/55837 with a credit or debit card.
