Your child’s health and safety are an important part of their success at Timpanogos Academy. This page provides families with important health and safety information, including health forms, immunization requirements, guidelines for when students should stay home, and safety drill procedures.
Please review these resources to help us maintain a healthy, safe, and prepared school community.
For any health related questions, please contact Sundee Wilson at swilson@timpacademy.org
Please keep your student home if they have any of the following:
Returning to school: fever-free for 24 hours without medication, and free of vomiting/diarrhea for 24 hours.
Please notify the office of communicable illnesses (chickenpox, strep throat, pink eye, influenza, COVID-19, lice, ringworm, and similar). Follow current health-department guidance for isolation.
Utah requires certain immunizations for school entry. Find the requirements and the exemption process below.
If your child has received some, but not all, of the required immunizations for their age or grade, or hasn't received any at all, they may be able to enroll conditionally. This means your child can attend school for 30 days while you gather the necessary documents or update their immunizations. Talk to your child's school or childcare provider for more information about this option.
This state website has all the information on what immunizations are required, and how to get an exemption. https://immunize.utah.gov/early-childhood-and-school-requirements/
Timpanogos Academy uses The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP) to provide a clear, consistent way to respond to emergencies and safety situations. The protocol uses five simple actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. Each action tells students and staff what to do, rather than requiring them to figure out how to respond during an emergency.
We use the SRP because having the same language and procedures helps students, staff, families, and first responders stay on the same page. Regular practice helps everyone know what to expect and how to respond quickly and calmly when an emergency occurs.

Timpanogos Academy will hold regular safety drills throughout the school year to practice the Standard Response Protocol and help students and staff know how to respond during an emergency. These drills will include Fire, Hold, Secure, and Lockdown drills. Students will be informed on the day that these drills will take place. Parents will not receive advance notification of these routine drills so that we can practice procedures as realistically as possible.
We will also conduct Evacuation and Reunification drills. Because these drills involve additional planning, coordination, and procedures for families, parents will be notified in advance whenever an Evacuation and Reunification drill is scheduled. Timpanogos Academy will not conduct an Evacuation and Reunification drill without first notifying parents.
All emergency communications from Timpanogos Academy will be sent through BrightArrow by email and/or text message. To opt in to emergency text messages, please text “Yes” to 79041.
For the safety of everyone in the building, parents and visitors will not be allowed to enter the school during a lockdown. Parents will be notified when the threat has been cleared and it is safe to enter the building.
If the school must evacuate, students will be taken to a designated reunification site. Parents will not be allowed to take their children before arriving at the reunification site. Students must remain with school staff until they reach the designated reunification site and the reunification process can begin.
Once at the reunification site, parents or authorized individuals will be required to follow the check-out process and be verified by Timpanogos Academy staff before a student can be released.
More information about our reunification process and procedures will be provided to families in the future.
