  • Student Medical Permission Letter: 2020-2021

  • Dear Parent/Guardian,


    According to the Department of Education, Department of Public Health and the Department of Early Education and Care regulations, all students are required to have a yearly physical exam and an updated immunization report on file.  A dental exam is strongly suggested.


    Medication Requirements:

    • If your child takes medication during the school day, and/or during residential hours, the following documentation is required to permit medication administration.
    • A new written doctor’s order on physician’s letterhead for the 2020-2021 academic year.
    • Written parental permission to administer medication. 
    • An accurately labeled pharmacy container for medication(s).
    • Medication  supply of not greater than a 1 month quantity, to be kept in the nursing department.

    Medications are to be delivered directly to the nursing department by a parent or adult, not the student. Medications will be administered by a nurse or her designee in the case of a field trip.

    If your child has a special need regarding medication or medical treatment, delivery of a medication or a restriction, please call the Nursing Department at (508) 879-5110: 

    For Middle and High School Students: Ext. 520 

    For Pre-K and lower/upper Elementary School: Ext. 221 or 225

     

    Thank you,

    Nursing Department

    The Learning Center for the Deaf
