Health Office Updates

*NEW* Physical Exam Form 2020
Please note this specific form will be the only form New York State will allow after January 31, 2021.
All 5th and 7th grade students are required to have a current physical examination on file in the Nurse’s Office.

Anyone who does not want their child’s BMI included in the anonymous report to the state, please send in a note to the school nurse stating this.

Vision /Hearing and Scoliosis screenings will be done in November and December according to the state guidelines. These may be found under the tab screenings.

Medication Administration in School

Per New York State laws, ALL medications including those that can be purchased over the counter (such as Advil, Tylenol, etc.) require both a physician’s order and parent authorization. All medications must be in their original container as supplied by the pharmacy or manufacturer. IF the student is to carry and self-administer the medication, the Attestation Form must also be completed. No medication will be accepted without orders and no orders will be accepted without medication.
Authorization for Medication Administration Form
Sports Requirements (7th Grade)

ALL SPORTS CLEARANCES ARE DONE THROUGH THE FAMILY ID PLATFORM.
  • If you haven't already done so, you need to create an account.
  • If you already have an account with Family ID, registration is opened for each specific season approximately one month prior to the start of tryouts.
  • Physical examinations are valid for an entire 12 months extending through the sport season in which the physical date expires. The notification from Family ID that your physical is expiring should serve as a reminder to make an appointment for your next physical exam. A new document is only needed if the previous physical exam has expired as indicated in Family ID or if you have not yet submitted one to Family ID or the Nurse's Office
