Nurse's Office


Physicals

General information
A copy of your son's physical exam is required on admission to 7th and 9th grade. If your son plans to try out for a sport he must have a current physical on file in the health office and present evidence of clearance to his coach prior to tryouts. Physicals are valid for 13 months, as per MIAA rules.





Medication

a. A confidential file is maintained by the school nurse listing all students who take medication during school hours. Medication here applies to that which may be purchased over the counter (e.g., Tylenol) as well as that which is prescribed by a health care provider. The parent of a student requiring such medication must provide the nurse with written authorization and the following pertinent information: student’s name, date of birth, medication name, specific dosage, medication times, signature of parent or health care provider, and date. Oral authorization is insufficient.

b. No student should carry medication with him through the day. All medication should be brought to the nurse before school. The nurse will dispense prescription medication. Such medication must be taken or consumed in the presence of the nurse.

c. No student will be allowed to remain at Catholic Memorial after the first week of October without an updated school record of health and an updated physical on file. It is the parents’ responsibility to inform the school nurse of any serious medical problem(s) their son(s) may have, e.g., congenital defects, epilepsy, diabetes, etc.
