MEDICATION: Our Board of Education
policy and the N.J. Nurse Practice Act specify that if a child needs
prescription or non-prescription medication in school, the parent or
guardian must provide a written doctor's note with the child's name,
dose, reason and time of administration. Forms are available in the
nurse's office. The medication must be in the pharmacy container, and
must be brought in by the parent. Parents may come in and administer
medication to their children at any time.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS: Physical
examinations are required on all kindergarten and new students. Forms
can be obtained in the Health Office. Our school physician is also
available for physical examinations for students who do not have a
medical home.
