NURSE'S CORNER
ATTENTION, 6th Grade Parents; The State of Massachusetts requires a current physical(within 13 months) with up to date immunizations, prior to entry into seventh grade. If your child has recently had a physical exam, please send in a copy to me so I can enter it into our computer system and place it in their medical file, that will be going over to the high school in June. Please remember that if your child plans on playing a fall sport their current physical needs to be on record prior to August tryouts.
When does my child need a doctor’s excuse?
Any injury that prohibits a student from functioning normally in the school setting must be medically addressed.
If your child has an injured ankle and can’t walk, injured shoulder and can’t move it, etc. they must be seen by their doctor to rule out a fracture or injury that could be aggravated by school.
If they hit their head and are having headaches, or dizzy spells, they should be seen by the doctor to rule out a concussion, etc.
If your child is assigned an air cast boot, crutches, scooter or a wheelchair, they must have a note from the doctor stating it is ok to be in school with them.
If your child reports to the health office and appears injured, you will be asked to pick them up and have them evaluated by a doctor. A note from the physician will be required in order for your child to return to school.
For all injuries, a medical note is required to excuse your child from physical education/recess. A note from the same physician is required to return your child to gym/sports/recess activities.
A doctor’s note is required for admittance to school after 5 consecutive absences
