Welcome to the Franklin
Borough School
Health Office!
New Immunization Requirements
As part
of the health services program, the following
assessments are administered to students in
grades pre-school through eight:
-
Vision screening;
-
Audiometric testing;
and
-
Height and weight.
If any
of these assessments are not within normal, a
referral form will be sent home. Please use this
form when following up with your physician, and
return it to the health office. This will ensure
that your child’s health record is accurate and
complete.
Please
keep the health office up to date with accurate
contact numbers. If your child is ill or
injured, it is extremely important that I can
contact parents or significant others.
Scoliosis screenings will be performed on
students in grades 4, 6, and 8.
Medication:
Pupils
requiring medication at school must have a
written physician’s order that states it may be
dispensed by the school nurse. Forms may be
downloaded on this site. Medications must be in
a properly labeled container from a pharmacy .
The parent/guardian must bring in the medication
to the health office with the proper form.
Please
advise the school nurse of any drug prescribed
for your child by the family physician because
it might alter his or her behavior. It is
important to have an open line of communication
so the school nurse may provide the best care
possible. If your child comes into the office,
it is essential that the school nurse
understands all medications that your child is
taking.
If your
child is asthmatic, it is very important that he
or she have an asthma action plan. This will
ensure that your child gets the mediation and
care that he or she will need in case of an
asthma attack. This form may be downloaded on
the forms section of this website. Please take
it to your pediatrician and have them fill out
this form.
