***********************************************************

According to New York State Law, physical examinations are required of:

• pupils entering school for the first time
• pupils transferred or re-entering the school district

If your child requires a physical exam you have two choices:

Option 1: You may have your child examined and screened by your family physician.  If you choose this option, please have the physician complete a school physical form and return it to the school nurse.

Option 2: You may have your child examined by the school physician.  Please see the school nurse to schedule an appointment.

If a student becomes ill during the school day, his/her teacher will send them to the Nurse's office.  

No student should:
- call or text their parent from their cell phone before reporting to the nurse. If necessary, school personnel will contact the parent or guardian.
- leave the building
- stay in the bathroom because of illness. 

No medication, including aspirin, will be given to a student without a physician's written authorization.  Parents of a student with a specific medication problem should inform the school nurse of the nature of the problem.

Any student who is injured on the way to school or in school, or while participating in a school sport or activity must report to the Nurse's office to complete an accident report.
