Dear St. Paul School Parents,
Welcome! Current health information is required for your child’s yearly health record. Please send all records to Saint Paul School by September 6.
St. Paul School policy allows for medical exemptions when a physician has documented that an immunization would be contraindicated for a child.
Please be aware that St. Paul School is completely NUT FREE! Nuts of any kind are not allowed at St. Paul School. Please be considerate of others and follow this strictly enforced policy. Thank you for your understanding.
New students (including Preschool and transfer students):
All new students must provide a copy of their immunizations and report of a physical examination dated within one year of the start of school.
Pre- K, Kindergarten, Grade 4 and Grade 7:
Please provide a copy of a physical exam with current immunizations completed within the past 12 months. Documentation of a lead test is also required for Pre-K & kindergarten students.
Medications:
All medication must be delivered directly to the school nurse before school begins, in a labeled pharmacy or manufacturer’s container. No student is to carry medication with them in school including nonprescription medications. The only exception to this rule are those students requiring emergency medications, inhalers for asthma, and EpiPens for allergy. Students must have a written order from their physician and permission from parents to have medications in school.
New Students or Transfer Students with EpiPens:
Parents please contact the school nurse by telephone prior to the start of school to inform the school nurse of the student’s allergies. At that time the necessary forms will be sent to your home. Parents must provide 2 EpiPens for school - one for the classroom and one to be kept in the nurse’s office. A written order from the prescribing physician and a parent’s signed permission to administer the EpiPen is also required.
Health Needs:
If your child has a health issue to be addressed (severe allergies, recent surgery, nosebleeds) please contact the nurse directly.
Thank you for your support in keeping your child’s health record up to date. Please contact me with any health care concerns regarding your child.
Rose Trogele, R.N.
