Public Service Announcement
The Three Affiliated Tribes Head Start Program would like to announce their 2020-2021 Round-Up Events for Returning and New Students. This event is open to children between the ages of 2 ½ to 4 years of age and those that are eligible to receive services at Indian Health Service. If you are not eligible to receive services with IHS and you need help with scheduling or other questions please feel free to contact Nichole Thomas @ 701-421-6504.
Guardians need to bring proof of birth, income verification, and immunization records (only in the event that any immunizations were given out of the state of North Dakota), custody papers if applicable, medical insurance numbers, Tribal ID if applicable and any records that indicate Special Services. If your child is a returning student you DO NOT need proof of birth or immunization records but you WILL need all other documents. You may choose to email your documents to our Records Manager at wajones@mhanation.com. If your student is not already registered with EMHC, you will need to complete their packet also. You can obtain the packet ahead of time by email at Randella.Schwuchow@ihs.gov or by calling 701-627-4750.
The Round Up will include the following services: Physicals, Immunizations, screenings for dental, and diabetes as well as services and information from other programs that involve children.
*Due to COVID-19 precautions we have to limit the amount of people at the event to protect the EMHC Staff, the Head Start Staff, and also your family. Please note that ONE custodial parent/guardian and the child must be present for medical liability reasons.
*We also require guardian and child to wear masks. If you do not have a mask for you or your student we will have one for you but we do have a limited supply.
*We will have instructions for wait times when you arrive at the event but we are asking that the application be totally complete, unless you have a question in a certain area of the application.
