FROM THE HEALTH ROOM
Attention Kindergarten and 3rd grade parents:
The State of Pennsylvania REQUIRES each child to have a dental examination in kindergarten, 3rd, and 7th grades. If your child is currently in kindergarten or 3rd grade, your dental exam forms are DUE NOW. An exam is considered acceptable if it was completed on September 1, 2020, or later. If you have not yet returned your child’s dental exam form, please do so by emailing it to ekovach@boyertownasd.org or by faxing it to 610-754-8349. If you need the school dentist to perform the dental screening, please contact the Health Room at 610-473-1770 so we can assist you with an appointment for your child to receive their dental screening at school.
Attention Kindergarten parents:
The State of Pennsylvania REQUIRES each child in kindergarten to have a physical examination. Physical exam forms are also DUE NOW. An exam is considered acceptable if it was completed on September 1, 2020, or later. If you have not yet returned your child’s physical exam form, please do so by emailing it to ekovach@boyertownasd.org or by faxing it to 610-754-8349. If you need the school physician to perform the physical exam, please contact the Health Room at 610-473-1770 so we can assist you with an appointment for your child to receive their physician screening at school.
**Blank dental forms and physical exam forms can be obtained from the BASD website. From the BASD homepage, click on Health Services. Then scroll down and choose either Family Dental Form or Private Physical Exam Form.
A Few Reminders:
Cough drops: Elementary students are not permitted to bring cough drops to school under any circumstances. Please refer to the BASD policy in your Parent Handbook to review the policy.
Medication during school hours: If your child requires medication during school hours (this includes any prescription medication and/or over the counter medication such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Cough Syrup) we need a signed medication authorization form granting parent permission, as well as a doctor’s order. The order from the doctor must include the child’s name, the name of the medication, the dosage, and the time that the medication is to be administered. Once all paperwork is completed and sent to the health room, the medication must be brought to school in the original container. No medication will be accepted at school without the proper paperwork on file and/or not in the original container. Blank medication authorization forms can be obtained on the BASD website. From the BASD homepage, click on Health Services. Then scroll down and choose Medication Authorization Form.
Medication drop off: If you need to drop medication off at school (prescription or over-the counter), YOU MUST MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. Please call the health room at 610-473-1770 or email ekovach@boyertownasd.org. MEDICATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT.
Health Updates: Please notify the nurse if there are any changes in your child’s health status. We would like to keep your child’s health record current and up to date to ensure proper care while your child is attending school.
Change of clothing: Please consider keeping a change of clothing in your child’s backpack. Clothing can become soiled due to a bathroom accident, fall outside in the mud, or because of spilling food/drink. The health room may not have appropriately sized clothing, so if your child does have an accident of any sort, a parent will be called to bring clothing in for the child.
