Important Information for all parents:

            Your child's health is of the utmost importance. If a child come to us with a serious injury, or is not feeling well and has a temperature of 100 or more, a call is made for the child to be taken home.  It is, therefore, very important that we have up-to-date telephone numbers for the child's home parent's place of work, and two emergency numbers to contact if we cannot reach a parent.  If you wish to update your child's emergency card at anytime during the year, please send the new information in writing to the main office.

Kindergarten:

        If you are registering a child for the current school year, please complete all parts of the health history form.  If there is any medical condition that you feel the school nurse should be aware of, please indicated that on the form.
