Once you receive such a call from the office or school nurse, we urge you to pick up your child immediately or make alternate arrangements. Any contagious illness should be reported to the school as a courtesy to other parents in the school. A doctor's note will be required before the child is readmitted to school. The school nurse or office staff, according to New York State regulations is not permitted to administer or dispense Tylenol or any other medication. Our student's health is of primary concern to us.
Teachers maintain and update pupil health records.
Parents are asked to bring important physical and health matters to the attention of the teacher, so that appropriate program adjustments can be made in each child's case. In the case of asthma, a parent is required to contact school nurse and fill out an asthma action plan. The school cannot he youngster if we are not made aware of the child's physical condition. For proper enrollment, parents must ft proof of immunization against diphtheria and polio. Immunization records are checked every year and reports are made to the New York City Department Health and to the State Education Department.
