Message from the School Nurse

 

Attention Grade 6 parents:

Please remember to return your child's completed physical examination if you have not already done so. We are still missing over 100 6th grade physicals, which are required by the state of Pennsylvania. bronze-medicine-symbol.jpg

 

Attention Grade 7 parents:

Please remember to return proof of your child's required immunizations (Tdap and MCV) if you received a letter in November.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  If you returned a sports physical exam for your child, most likely the immunizations were not attached as they are not required as part of the PIAA paperwork.

 

Any questions, please contact the nurse's office at 610 240-1305 or email.

 

FLITE Staff Tributes Make Holiday Shopping Easy

This holiday season honor a special teacher, coach, counselor or school nurse with a Staff Tribute to FLITE.  Staff Tributes are a way to thank these dedicated individuals for the positive impact they've made on your student and to make a tax-deductible donation to FLITE. Honorees will receive a card notifying
them of your donation.  Staff tributes may be made online or via mail. Learn more about FLITE-funded academic programs and how they are helping kids at www.flite-pa.org.
