Recommendations from the health office if your child is not feeling well.
Emergency cards (8.5" x 11") 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 at 267-599-2473.
Medications in school:
When in school, students are not permitted to carry medication of any kind on them or in their book bags. A medication dispensing form must be completed by the physician and parent for any student who may require medications to be given during the school day (not including those listed on the blue emergency card). These forms are available in the health office. Please call us at 267-599-2473 and we will provide a form for your student. Or you can click this link and print one out: MEDICATION FORM
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 267-599-2473 and we will be happy to discuss your student's results and formulate a plan to best support your student.

Looking for Health Insurance Coverage for Your Child?
The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a state- and federally-funded health insurance program that provides health insurance coverage to all children who meet eligibility guidelines and are residents of Pennsylvania.
No family makes too much for a child to enroll in a Keystone HMO CHIP product! Family size and household income will determine if a child is eligible for free, low-cost, or full-cost Keystone HMO CHIP insurance.
