Welcome back to our returning students, and welcome to our new students! In preparation for the 2021-22 school year, I'd like to remind families of a few topics related to the health office:
Medications:
If your student requires a daily, as needed, or emergency
medication, it can be kept in the health office and administered as directed by
a physician. A new order is required at the start of each school year. These
can be faxed, emailed, or dropped off in person. If you would like to drop off
medications before the first week of school, I will be available Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday (8/30-9/1) from 9am until 3pm. Please check in with
security to let them know you are dropping off medications. I will also be
available during kindergarten orientation if you would like to stop by the
health office.
Immunizations:
Please make sure we have received documentation of required UPK,
kindergarten, and 6th-grade vaccines. These are mandatory for the start of
school. If you are unsure whether we have received this information in the
health office, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Physicals:
An annual physical is required for students in grade levels UPK,
K, 1, 3, and 5. If you have not already submitted one but have an appointment
to do so with a primary care physician, please let me know.
Any documentation can be faxed to 392-1012 or emailed to me at kbaldino@hilton.k12.ny.us.
Enjoy these last few weeks of summer and stay safe!
