 Notes from the Nurses - Sue Hanly, RN and Julie Marhefka, RN
June 10th 2010
6th grade parents: Please continue to send in physicals and immunization records as you take your child to the doctor for a physical. We will be sending letters home in the report cards if your child is missing anything. If you do not receive a letter from us, it means your child is up to date. Immunizations and physicals can be sent into the school all summer. Just address it attention nurses. We pickup ail throughout the summer.
7th grade parents: Please continue to return vision and hearing referrals.
8th grade parents: We will be sending your child's health records on to the high schools your children are planning to attend. Most of the records are going to WA but we have pulled out the records of students going on to Nashoba Tech as wel as some of the other priviate schools. {We wish your children good luck as they leave Stony Brook.
To all Parents: All meds will need to be picked up at the end of the year. We will send the students home with their epipens and inhalers but if your child is on a psychotropic med, you will need to come to the school to pick them up. We will also mail out medication forms for inhalers, epipens, daily meds and diabetic care plans. Every year, new forms need to be filled out. If you could take care of this over the summer and either mail them into us or return them to us when school starts up at the end of August, we would appreciate it.
Fall Sports: If your child is planning to participate in any of the fall sports, please make sure that they have an up to date physical on file in the clinic when the 2010-2011 school year begins. An up-to-date physical according to the MIAA regulations is a physical within the previous 13 months. Sports physicals are offered at WA in August. These are offered not only to high school students, but middle school students as well. Watch the Westford Eagle for more information.
Have a great summer!!
