Child’s Health Record  

• The top portion of the form is completed by the parent/guardian.  Please include medical history, noting any special health needs/allergies and return it to the Health Office. It is important that we receive this information prior to the start of school (and no later than 30 days of the start of school) in order to make appointments to discuss any special health needs and care plan for the new school year. Please also note any medications required for school. A prescription is required from your physician for any over the counter or prescription medications needed at school, except for Acetominophen, Ibuprofen or Tums.

• PHYSICAL EXAM: (bottom section) The physical exam section may be filled out by the physician or a copy of the MD’s form may be attached.  All students must be examined upon entry into the school district.  This exam must be done no more than 365 days prior to entry.  You do not need a new physical exam appointment.  You may have the form completed based on the child’s most recent physical exam given it is within the past 365 days of entry.

• Special Considerations: Allergy, asthma, authorization to administer medications in school and other special health needs forms will also need to be submitted annually. Please find these forms on the school website.

Outdoor recess is an integral part of the school day and provides students with a break from structured classroom time. Recess promotes opportunities for physical exercise and social development. 

Children are expected to come to school prepared to participate in outdoor recess.

When winter weather conditions exist, it is essential that children have the proper clothing to prevent hypothermia. Hypothermia may result if the body’s heat loss is greater than its rate of producing heat. Appropriate outerwear such as a pair gloves or mittens, a warm coat, and hat is essential for healthy and safe outdoor play.  It is suggested that girls wear tights/leggings under their jumpers/kilts to keep their legs warm during outdoor recess during these colder months.
