Dear Parents:

Please complete the Health Information Form for each child that is enrolled at the Arthur I. Meyer Jewish Academy and return it to school no later than August 6, 2010.  This information is kept in the school clinic and used by the nurse to assist in the care of your child.

Any child who requires prescription medication to be given on a daily and / or frequent basis must have the medication supplied by the parent.  A Physician Authorization For Student Medication Form ( which is provided by the doctor ) completed by the doctor must be provided with the medication.

All medication kept in the clinic must be in the original container with the child's name and prescription label intact.

Students may not keep medication in their book bags or pant pockets.  All medication must be kept in the clinic except for Asthma inhalers and life-threatening emergency medications.  Students who need to carry medication with them at all times must have this information indicated on the Physician Authorization Form.

All kindergarteners, seventh graders and new students entering the school must have an original copy of the Florida Certification of Immunization and School Entry Health Exam Forms on file at the school no later than August 6, 2010.  Returning students to the school do not need new health forms unless the student is entering seventh grade or there is a change in health status.

Thank you,

Bobbie Saskin - RN
