I hope you all had a great summer!
I am looking forward to meeting/seeing you and your children. I am in the process of reviewing all of the health forms in
Magnus, and I wanted to share with you a few reminders, and some information that may be new for you, about health related forms and medication administration.
Per Massachusetts State law and Department of Public Health Regulations, all medication, both prescription and over the counter medications, require a physician order and parental consent before they can be administered during the school day.
With the exception of EpiPens, inhalers, diabetic supplies, and pancreatic enzymes, it is unlawful for students to carry medication at school. Students that require EpiPens, inhalers, diabetic supplies, or pancreatic enzymes must carry these medications with them at all times. Please also provide the health office with at least 1 of each of these if needed.
Please note, all medication must be delivered to the school nurse in a pharmacy or manufacturer's labeled container. Medications that are improperly labeled cannot be accepted.
REMINDER: HEALTH FORMS IN MAGNUS
Per Massachusetts State law, a completed health form that includes a current physical and immunization record must be on file. This is necessary to attend school and participate in sports.
The health and medication forms have been available on Magnus since June.
If you have not completed these forms, please complete and send them to Magnus by September 8, 2017. If you have questions please contact them at
877-461-6831.
Thank you for your attention to these issues of safety. We recognize there is a fair amount of paperwork involved, and I am here to help answer any questions you have. We appreciate your cooperation with our state mandated systems. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you,
School Nurse
