Summer vacation is quickly approaching -  I hope you enjoy the relaxed lazy, hazy, days of summer -

You may pick up your child's medication in the nurses office between 8:30a and 1:30p until the last day of school. 

A brief summary of health information needed for the fall is as follows:

Physical Exam- prior to first entry and every 3 years after.  Annual physicals if participating in the basketball program.  Please remember to get copies at your office visits this summer.

Lead Poisoning Screening- prior to entering kindergarten

Preschool Vision Screening - done by primary care physician, upon entry into kindergarten

Immunizations - see web site for further info

Medication Administration- Medications to be given during the school day require (a) physicians order, (b) parental consent  and (c) 30 day supply of medication.  **All this to be in place before any meds will be administered at school.

Children with special health care needs - it is vital parents meet with me at the beginning of the school year to develop a plan.

Emergency planning - the Health Information and Consent form must be completed annually for each child enrolled in Saint Joseph School.  It may be printed directly from the web site.

Have a safe and healthy summer~

Peace,

Nurse Patty
