Dear Parents/Guardians,

This is Jodi Kennedy the school nurse for Broken Arrow School. I will be at your child’s Kindergarten Orientation to learn about your child and answer questions regarding health concerns. You will need to bring the following documents with you to Orientation please:

1. Your Child’s Immunization Record

2. Proof of Residency (examples include copy of utility bill, or lease agreement)

3. Birth Certificate

4. A physical examination is required for all students up to the age of 9 and under who are entering Kansas School for the first time. This paperwork can be brought to Round Up if completed.

I will review the information that you supply and with your permission discuss with your child’s teacher to ensure the student’s optimal health and learning. It is recommended that your child visit the eye doctor and dentist before the school year. Such preventative appointments are helpful with school attendance.

Most school age children are capable of taking care of their own toileting needs. However, we do understand the occasional “accident” while at school. It would be helpful if you send a change of clothes to keep at school in the event of an accident.

If your kindergartener does not eat breakfast at school please make sure their breakfast at home gives them a nutritious start. Please be sure to notify us of any food allergies.

Any prescription medication that must be given at school is required to come in the original container with the pharmacy label intact and a parent permission form must be signed.

Please let me know about any health conditions that arise throughout the year to help your child be the most successful student possible.
