Welcome to Kiel School Health office. Here you will find additional health related information specific to Kiel School Students..
Attendance
If a student will be absent or late, please call the main number 973-838-0611
and press #1 to let the nurse know why he/she will not be attending school.
If your child will be absent for three days or more or has a communicable
disease a written return to school release from a physician is needed.
Please do not leave requests for work to be sent home on this line.
Control of Communicable Diseases
If a student has had a fever, vomiting and /or gastrointestinal symptoms,
he / she must be free of symptoms for 24 hours (without the use of medication)
before returning to school. A student must be on antibiotics for 24 hours
prior to returning to school to prevent the spread of communicable disease.
Illness/ Injury in school
If a student becomes ill or is injured during school they will be sent
to the Health office and evaluated by the School Nurse. If, based on the
professional judgment of the nurse, they need to be sent home then their
parent will be called to pick them up. If a parent can not be reached
in a reasonable period of time the nurse may call the emergency contact
person for that student and the emergency contact person may sign the
student out of school. Parents/ guardians need to sign these students
out in the health office.
Medication Administration
Students who need medication during school hours must have the medication
brought to school by an adult in the original labeled container with the
completed medication form. The medication and completed forms need to
be given to the nurse. (link to medication forms) A STUDENT IS NOT
PERMITED TO CARRY OR SELF-ADMINISTER MEDICATION IN SCHOOL. Responsible
students MAY be permitted to carry and self-administer emergency medications
with written permission from their physician and parent.
Physical Education Excuses
If a student needs to be excused from physical education for more than
one day, a written note from a physician is needed. The medical excuse
must be specific in nature describing what activities are prohibited (physical
education, play ground, contact sports) and for what period of time. Medical
clearance is also required to resume activities.
Physical Examinations
District policy requires a physical examination by a licensed physician
upon entry into the school district regardless of the grade that the student
is entering. Immunizations required by the NJ State Department of Health,
based on the student's age/ grade level are also required prior to entering
school. If you have questions about what immunizations are required for
your child please speak with your child's physician or the school nurse.
Student Health Screenings
Health Screenings for vision, hearing, blood pressure, height and weight
are completed on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Parents will be
notified of any findings that may require further medical evaluation.
Your anticipated cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please feel free
to call me at 973-838-6651 with any questions, concerns or up-dated information.
