-Coming back to school next year?- 
TEMS staff is looking ahead to the 2016/17 school year. It is anticipated that some of our current 5th, 6th & 7th grade students may be attending a new school in the fall. If your child will be attending another school, a Withdrawal Form must be completed to update your student's status. This facilitates any request for school records from their new school. 
Forms are available in the TEMS Main Office.

-Important Medical Information From the Nurse  for 2016-2017 School Year...

Students entering 7th grade in September 2016
 
The Pennsylvania Department of health requires all children entering 7th grade to have the following:
-1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria , acellular pertussis  (Tdap) If 5 years has elapsed since last tetanus  immunization
-1 dose  meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV)

If the school nurse does not have documentation of your child receiving one or more of these immunizations, you will receive a notification letter in the fall.
Remember, this information is required before your child begins Grade 7 in September.
 
Notice for Current 6th Grade Parents-
Dental Health Requirements-
The Public School Code of Pennsylvania requires all children in grades 7 to have a dental examination. Examinations completed by a family dentist within one year prior to the start of the school year are accepted for the required proof of such care. The required dental form can be reached at the school district web site under student health services.
Thank you for your assistance in meeting this state mandate.
 
Notice to 5th Grade Parents-
Physical Exam Requirement
The Pennsylvania School Act requires that all students in grade six receive a medical examination. Please have your physician either give you a copy of the exam with immunization update or they can complete a district physical exam form. If your child will be getting their examination AFTER September, please call the school nurse to inform her.
Copies of the form can be downloaded from the TESD or TEMS web site. Go to the Student Health Services homepage.
