Electronic Medical Forms

More information about electronic medical forms

This will be a Google Form, and easily sent to your student families and adult chaperones via a link.  It is:

  • Completed using any devices (computer, phone, iPad, etc.) using WiFi or cellular.
  • Automatically translated into Spanish and Somali. Translated via browser into any other language.
  • Data accessible to the teacher

The teacher will go through the compiled information to ensure everyone has completed it, and enter in the student and chaperone letter group and dorm room assignments.

All forms must be completed by the MONDAY OF THE WEEK PRIOR TO your trip (appr 7-10 days before your trip). Our staff will access the data and adequately prepare for your visit since all of the needs (dietary, medical, etc) are aggregated in this form.
