Dear Parents:

Hello and welcome to the start of a new year at Governor Winslow School. Please feel free to contact me regarding your child’s health needs at any time. I am concerned with your child’s complete well-being.   Please refer to the health information section of our Parent Handbook for additional information.

The following state-mandated screenings of students will be completed this year. I will begin in October and will complete the process as soon as possible.

  • Kindergarten  Vision/Hearing Screen
  • Grades 1-5  Vision/Hearing Screen / Height / Weight
  • Grade 5  Postural Screening

 

This is a screening only and is NOT a diagnostic service. I will notify you by written notice of any failures or concerns regarding the results. Failures or concerns regarding results will warrant further assessment by your child’s pediatrician.

Grade 4: Your child is in one of the grades in which a periodic health exam is required by state law. If your child has had a physical exam within the last year, please send a copy of the completed physical form to my office. If not, please schedule an exam with your child’s physician during his/her fourth grade year.  I will be sending out additional information regarding this at a later time.

Medication Policy:

ALL GRADES-Medication must be brought to school by parents or an adult, with parental permission. This is for obvious safety reasons and in accordance with Marshfield Schools Medication Policy.  For prescription medications, it must be received in its original pharmacy-labeled container. For short-term prescription medication, i.e.-antibiotics, written permission is required only from the parent/guardian as the original bottle label can serve for short-term prescriptions as the physician’s authorization. If at all possible, please schedule this medication dosage before or after school hours.

For all prescription medications that must be given throughout the school year, the physician and parent permissions are mandatory. Parental permission is required for occasional non-prescription medications.
