Health Office

Blue 8.5 x 11" emergency cards are sent out in September. If your student did not receive one, please notify our office and we will provide one to you. Emergency cards give us important information regarding your student's medical history, allergies, and emergency contact information so we can reach you in the event of an emergency. The reverse side also gives you the ability to give permission to treat your student and administer certain over-the-counter medications to support your student during the school day. 

If your student has a change in their health status, if they are coming to school with crutches, a cast or other orthopedic device, or if they are starting a new medication please notify us. 

K - 12 Mandated Yearly School Screenings:

Pennsylvania requires all school-aged children receive screening services for height, weight, vision, and in K-3, hearing during the school year.  If your student failed a screening, you will receive a referral from us via mail.  If you have any questions once you receive this notice, please call and we will be happy to discuss your student's results and formulate a plan to best support your student.
