June end of year reminders


2019-2020 THIRD GRADE PARENTS:  A Universal Health Record physical exam form was sent home to you this month.  It is recommended that students have a physical exam on file at school for the 3rd grade year.  Kindly have your physician fill it out at your student’s next exam during the third grade school year, then return it to the Health Office.  Thank you!

MEDICATION-If your child currently has medication in school, the medication must go home with you in June.  Students are not allowed to transport medication, only adults may do so. Please plan on picking up the medication those last few short days of school. I will be sending home information to print new medication permission forms so that you may have them filled in by your physician at your convenience this summer. 

Please make your medical appointment soon. All medications and forms must be submitted to the Health office by the first day of school in order to provide a safe environment for your student. Any student with life-threatening medical conditions will not be permitted to start school unless their emergency medication and paperwork is in the Health office prior to the first day of school.

ROXBURY PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT MEDICATION POLICY- a copy of Regulation 5330 is available on the district website.  FORMS-found under the “Nursing Health Services" tab. Go to "District Offices", "Nursing Health Services", then "forms'. Please read it carefully in case your student requires medication to be given during the school during the year.  A physician’s order and parent signature are required for all medications, over –the- counter or prescription.

Please remember to check your student for head lice prior to returning to school. There is a head lice manual to reference on the district website under "Nursing  Health Services". Go to "District Offices", the "Nursing Health Services", then "Informational Pages"-thank you!

Remember to use sunscreen and keep hydrated!

Have a healthy and sunburn free summer!
