General School Health Information
ALL 7th Grade physicals are due PRIOR to August 31, 2010 As of August 24, 2010, 50% of 7th Grade Physicals are still outstanding. Remember to submit them soon!
The NEW State of CT Health Assessment AND Sport Physical is now available on line under FORMS! The revised State Mandated Physical Blue Form now includes the Sports section. ( We will continue to accept the old forms).
STATE OF CT MANDATORY 7TH GRADE HEALTH ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Physical Exams- Required for ALL students entering K. 6th or prior to grade 7 and 10th grade. The physical exam must be documented on the State Of CT form (HAR-3) and completely filled out by parent/guardian and primary physcian before submitting it to the School Health Office. All incomplete forms will be returned. Completed forms must be submitted to the school nurses.
Immunizations-All entering students must provide documentation of immunizations that are required by the State of CT. Call the school health office in case of medical and/or religious exemptions.
Medication Administration- All students who require medications, prescription or OTC, must have a medication form filled out by their physcian and parent/guardian. All medications must be in their original containers and properly labeled. Students may not carry medication to school. Students who use an inhaler or Epi Pen must also have this form filled out and permission to self carry. All forms must be submitted to the school nurses.
Sports Physicals- Are required every 12-13 months. NEW FORM! This physical will be included on the State of CT mandated Health Assessment form (all in one!) starting July 2010. We will continue to use the old forms as previously handed in. NWR #7 follows the CIAC rules which state the student must have all assessments and immunizations required by the State of CT before a sports physical will be accepted. The new Sports/Physical form must be completed by the parent/guardian, the primary care provider, and the student athlete and be submitted to the school nurses before the student is allowed to participate in any sports. It is the parents/guardians responsibility to remember when annual exams are due for sports.
Forms are available for downloading, click on Forms, left side of home page.
Note to Parents/Guardians: We strongly recommend that all medical information, i.e. Health Assessments, sports PE's, medication Admin Forms, etc., be hand delivered to the Health Office due to their personal nature. If you choose to mail, drop off, fax or send these forms in with your student, please be advised that we cannot guarantee the information on these forms will remain confidential and/or they will get to the Health Office where they belong. These forms are secured in your students' health record. Our staff is trained in confidentiality. Please make copies of all Health related forms for your own file at home.
