10 Tips for Taking Screen Breaks

All new students, as well as students entering 6th and 11th grades, are required to have a physical examination (MEH-1 form) completed by their doctor by September. Also, if your child needs to take any medication in school, please have their doctor complete the MED-1 form and return to the school nurse. Medication is not allowed to be given in school without the completed form. This includes asthma inhalers, epi-pens and any over the counter medication. Students are not allowed to bring medication to school without the completed MED-1.

12TH GRADE IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENT

The PA Department of Health changed the school immunization regulations beginning in August 2017. The regulations are intended to ensure that children attending school are adequately protected against potential outbreaks of vaccine preventable disease. The new regulation starting in the 2018-2019 school year is that all 12th grade students have 2 doses of Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV). If your child has received one of the doses after his/her 16th birthday, then that will count. This is due by the first day of school and if it is not completed, your child will risk exclusion from school.
