Health Services
We will evaluate your child’s illness and determine if he/she is able to return to class, needs to go home, or requires a medical referral. Your child is not permitted to call you from a phone to say he/she is ill. They must report to the school nurse if they feel ill. If you take your child home without seeing the nurse, the absence is not considered “medical”.

Physical Examination
IMPORTANT: As per NJ state law, all new physicals must ALSO have the doctor’s signature and date verifying that they have completed the Cardiac Assessment Professional Development Module (on the last page of the physical). Any physical form not having this signature will be invalid, thus prohibiting your child from participating in athletics.
