If your child does not have a REPORT OF HEALTH EXAMINATION FOR SCHOOL ENTRY on file at school, he/she will need one completed up to 18 months prior to entry into first grade or within 90 days of entry into first grade.

You can download the CHDP exam form from the Health Services > Documents Uploads page or pick one up at the school office.

If your child has had the physical examination, please have your physician or clinic representative complete the CHDP exam form and bring it to the school office. 

Please return the Report of Health Examination for School Entry to the school as soon as possible. It must be completed and signed by your physician or clinic representative.

MEDICATIONS ON CAMPUS:

A new medication consent form signed by a Parent and Medical Physician/Nurse Practitioner/Physicians Assistant is required each school year for each medication, even if your student carries his/her medication with him/her. You can obtain the Medication Form in the Health Services Section on the left side of the page. Go to Document Uploads, then to Health Forms.

In order to prevent medication errors and ensure the safety of all students, please observe the following:

A licensed Medical Physician/Nurse Practitioner/Physicians Assistant must prescribe medication dispensed to students at school.

Medication must be received at school in the original container as dispensed by an authorized pharmacy. Medication may not be transferred from a stock bottle at home to a “school” bottle.

All medication containers, including preparations available over-the-counter, must be prescription labeled by an authorized pharmacy with instructions consistent with those indicated on the medication consent form. All empty medication containers will be discarded unless other instructions are received by a parent/guardian.

In special circumstances deemed necessary by a licensed Medical Physician/Nurse Practitioner/Physicians Assistant, students may carry medication, such as an inhaler or an Epi-Pen, at school. Prior authorization must be obtained through the school office following the school district medication policy. This is the only situation in which students are allowed to carry medication at or to school. In all other situations, an adult must transport medication to and from the school office. This applies to prescription and over-the-counter preparations.

An adult must report changes in medication regimes, including discontinuation, promptly to the school office.
