Health Policy

All children are required by the Florida Department of Health to have on file in the school office a physical exam (gold form #3040) and immunization record (blue form #680). Forms are provided by your child’s pediatrician.

Ø A child should not attend school when ill. If your child becomes ill at school, we will attempt to contact you. If you cannot be reached, your child will be cared for in the school office until you arrive. Please make arrangements for your child to be picked up within as soon as possible. In an emergency situation, we will call the emergency number(s) you have provided.

Ø Please call when your child is absent. Report communicable diseases immediately.

Ø If medication needs to be given during school hours, the parent or guardian MUST SIGN a medical release form. Medication must be in the original container and given to the child’s teacher (please do not put medicine in lunch boxes or backpacks).

Ø If a child is hospitalized, a doctor’s release is required for re-admittance.
