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.
ABSENCES
If your child is absent please call the school by 9:30 a.m. A written note from a parent or physician is required when the child returns to school. If an absence is due to illness, children must be without symptoms and fever free for at least 24 hours before returning to school. Children who are absent from school will not be allowed to return to school on that day for parties, school pictures, or after school programs.
PHYSICALS
All new students and students entering grades Pre-K or K and 1 are required to have a physical examination. It is preferred that it is done by your family physician, if not; the school physician will examine your child in school.
If at any time you should have any questions, please contact the health office at 631-968-1133 Brook Avenue School.
