FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE

Dear Parent/Guardian of New St. Mary’s Elementary Student: 

• The Health Office is usually staffed by a Registered Professional Nurse from 9:30-1:00, Monday through Friday.
   
• All students must have proper immunization records before entering St. Mary’s Elementary.  Records must be submitted to the Health Office for review before the student starts school.
   
• Students new to St. Mary’s Elementary and the Lancaster School District must submit proof of a recent physical exam by his/her doctor (done within the past year).  Please have the doctor fill out the “Health Appraisal Form” and return to the Health Office.
   
• If your son/daughter has any special health care needs and/or medical condition or history, please take time to make the nurse aware of it.
   
• If your child will be participating in ANY school sport or extracurricular activity, a current physical is required.  A physical is valid for one calendar year (i.e. a physical dated 8/6/09 will expire on 8/6/09).  Besides new entrants and sport physicals, physicals are also required for students in grades 2, 4 and 7.
   
• Any medications (prescription or over-the-counter) that need to be taken during the school day must have proper documentation from your physician.  Please call the Health Office if forms are needed.
   
• During the school year mandated screenings will be done.  Vision screening will be done on all new entrants (this includes kindergarten students) and students in grades 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7.  Hearing screening will be done on all new entrants and students in grades 1, 3, 5 and 7.  Scoliosis screening will be done on all students in grades 5-8.  If any problems or concerns are noted, you will be notified.
   
• Please fill out the pink “Health Questionnaire and Emergency Form” and return it to the Health Office.  Please be sure to include work/emergency numbers where someone can be reached if necessary.
   
• Communication between home and school is very important.  I encourage you to call me with any concerns or notify me of any change in your child’s health status.

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Susan Gall, RN

School Nurse
