Here are a few things for this upcoming year to help make it as easy as possible. It is a state requirement that all medication orders must be renewed annually. For the upcoming school year, please have your healthcare provider complete any forms that pertain to your child.
All incoming 7th graders will need a physical form called the Universal Child Health Record
The Sports Physical Form is different and is located on the Athletic Website. This will be used for any 9-12th graders playing a GRHS sport.
All medications to be dispensed during school hours even PRN medication such as Advil must have a Medication Form completed by your doctor. Medication must be in the original container from the pharmacy with the child’s name and instructions on the label.
Please notify me if your child takes any daily medications or has any medical issues even if only at home. This will help me have a better understanding of your child’s medical history.
School policies regarding medication administration can be found on the Glen Ridge School Web page under Public policies
Any injuries requiring crutches, brace, or PE exemption need a note from a Doctor the form is on my website return to school or physical education form or your medical provider may supply his own.
If your child has allergies that require an epi-pen please have your medical provider fill out the allergy action plan and medication authorization form with the epi-pen and Benadryl in a ziplock bag. This can be brought to me over the summer no later than the first day of school. If they can self carry make sure to fill the bottom portion of the action plans so they can self-administer.
If your child has Asthma please have your medical provider fill out the asthma action plan, I can keep their inhaler in my office. If they can self carry make sure to fill the bottom portion of the action plans so they can self carry.
