Health and Personal Hygiene

1. A nurse is assigned to the school on a part-time basis. Please do not send children to school when they have symptoms of illness (a temperature elevation, vomiting during the night, a questionable injury which occurred at home, etc.), or when they have not fully recovered from an illness. A doctor’s certificate is necessary after the third consecutive day of absence.
2. The State Department of Health requires that all children have basic immunization before entering school. All students entering Kindergarten and First Grade, and all Sixth Graders are required to have a physical examination. Failure to submit completed forms by your private physician allows the School Nurse to schedule your child for examination by the School Physician.
3. Prescription and non-prescription medications will be administered during the school day by school personnel with the following regulations:
   • Medication must be in the original container and delivered at the beginning of the school day to the school nurse or principal.
   • Parent must complete a Medication Form or send a note including the following: student’s name, name of medication, dosage, time and date of administration, reason for administration, possible side effects, other medications student is taking, the name of the prescribing physician, and physician’s phone number.
   • Medicine taken on a regular basis requires a Medication Form.
4. A doctor’s note is needed to return to gym after any period of absence due to injury or sickness.
