Guidelines for Keeping Your Child Home

· A temperature of 100 degrees or higher (body temperature tends to be lower in the morning, so a slight elevation may indicate an infection is present).

· Children should be fever-free for one day, without the aid of a fever-reducing product, before they return to school.

· Vomiting or diarrhea

· A suspicious rash

· A headache that continues for a day or two, or re-occurs

· A bad cough, or cold symptoms

· A sore throat, especially if exhibiting other symptoms such as nausea, rash or fever.

· Redness of an eye, especially if accompanied with draining or itching.

When your child is absent or tardy from school, please call the nurse's office. Please remember to send in a written note of explanation when your child returns (New York State Law)

 

Over the Counter Medications

In order for the school nurse to give ANY OTC'S, a written order from your child's doctors office must be on file each school year.  Please ask your child's doctor to complete the OTC form (pdf). 

 

Prescription Medications

Any prescription medication that your child will need to be administered to them during the school year, requires an order from the prescribing physician that indicates this. Please print this form (PDF) for your child's doctor and return it to school.

 

Physicals

Physicals are due for all 10th graders and annually for students participating in sports. If you haven't had your child's 10th grade physical done by their own doctor(primary care provider - PCP) yet, but are planning to do so, please let the health office know the date of the appointment. 

Students that have not received a 10th grade physical by their PCP will be provided one at NO charge by the district's school physician or nurse practitioner.  

Athletic physicals for students that are NOT new to the district or in 10th grade will be charged a $30.00 fee.  Please let the nurse know if you will be requiring any of these. 

Please have the doctor (PCP) complete the *NEW for 2009-2010* health form (PDF) at your child's annual physical.
