Health Services
The Health Services Team at Windsor Charter Academy strives to maintain the physical, mental, and social health of students so they can focus on their educational opportunities. Our goal is to remove health-related barriers to learning and meet students’ health care needs while ensuring that students are allowed every opportunity to thrive and excel in both the classroom and extracurricular activities.
Illness Symptoms: When to Keep Your Child at Home
Parents should report any illness or communicable disease diagnosis to the school immediately, as required by Board Policy JLCC. Diagnoses may include, but are not limited to: pink eye/conjunctivitis, lice, influenza, COVID-19, chicken pox, and/or strep throat. Please follow the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) guidance for when students should stay home from school.

Student Accident Insurance
Student accident insurance is becoming an important option for families due to lack of insurance options, an ever-increasing rise in deductibles, and co-insurance requirements. If medical insurance coverage is not available to your family, we offer the option to purchase insurance through Markel Insurance agency on behalf of your children. This program helps families cope financially in case of an accident.
