Physicals for Upcoming 6^th Graders

To all 5th Grade Parents:  If your child is entering 6th grade in Fall 2012, (s)he is required to have a physical on the State of Connecticut form. The physical MUST be dated on or after July 1, 2012 for it to be considered their 6th Grade Physical. All physicals are valid for 13 months. Please return the completed form to the appropriate middle school nurse after July 1, 2012. 

Physicals are needed yearly if your student is trying out for a sport (they are good for 13 months from the date of the physical. - See Link Above)  Note: No student may tryout without a valid physical.

Field Trips:  Any student in need of a medication on a field trip MUST notify the nurse’s office one (1) week prior to the field trip. A doctor’s order is mandatory for prescription or over the counter medications. Also notify the nurse’s office of any medical conditions that students may have (even if we are already aware of it.)  NOTE: Parents are responsible to bring in the child's medication for field trips from a home supply. Medications from school WILL NOT be used.

Scoliosis Screening: Screening will be done for  all students that have not had a physical this school year during Physical Education classes. Girls should bring a bathing suit to class.

Tuberculosis: To be in compliance with State of Connecticut Regulations, Region 15 adopted a Tuberculosis policy in February 2006. 
          ~ Students entering Region 15 from outside of the United States must have a TB
              screening  with results interpreted/documented by their physician's office
              prior to entering the school district.   
NEW!~ Students traveling outside  of the US to high risk areas (even for vacation) will be 
              required to have a TB test with results submitted to the Nurse's Office prior to return 
              to school. 
          ~ Additional screening may be required according to the Tuberculosis policy.
Please contact  the  Health Office with any questions. 

NEW! Allergy Alert: Due to peanut and other life threatening food allergies, Region 15 has adopted a policy that does NOT allow foods to be brought into school to be shared with other students.

Thank you & stay healthy!
