CHILDREN ARE NEVER TO TRANSPORT MEDICATION TO OR FROM   SCHOOL.

The potential for severe harm always exists with any type of medication, so these procedures are in place for your child’s safety.

INJURIES

Children with fractures, stitches or other serious conditions will need a doctor’s note to be excused from physical education.  NO PHYSICAL EDUCATION ALSO MEANS NO RECESS.  Written medical clearance from a doctor is necessary to return to full activity. Home injuries should be cared for at home, since they did not occur in school.  

PHYSICALS

Physical examinations are required for all students in 3rd and 5th grades. All students should have their immunizations up to date before the first day of school. If not received, one will be scheduled with the school doctor.
