District Health Information Health RegulationsIn accordance with State regulations, South Brunswick School District requires pupils new to the District, students entering Kindergarten, students trying out for athletic teams, students participating in Color Guard, marching band or dance and those applying for working papers to undergo a physical examination. Physical examinations are strongly recommended for students in grades 5 and 8. Examinations must be completed by a private physician. In the absence of a private physician, parents are encouraged to speak with the school nurse.

The school nurse can administer medication that is packaged in the original container and is accompanied by the District's Medication Form, which must be completed and signed by the child's doctor and parent or guardian. Forms can be obtained through your school nurse or by downloading the information that appears below.

Additionally, each year the school nurse conducts the following screenings:

Height and Weight - All Grades
Blood Pressure - Grades K, 3, 5, 6-12
Vision - Grades K, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10
Hearing - Grades K-4, 6, 8 and 10
Scoliosis - Grades 5, 7, 9 and 11
Mantoux screening as per current State guidelines. ImmunizationsImmunizations are required for entry or attendance in school to comply with Chapter 14 of the New Jersey Sanitary Code. In 2008, the State announced various changes to its immunization code. Please check with your physician or school nurse to ensure that your child is adequately immunized for their grade. Failure to provide a complete immunization record can result in the child’s exclusion from school. The school nurse reviews all immunization records prior to a student’s admission. Parents or guardians are encouraged to contact the school health office to speak about an individual child’s immunization needs.

Immunization waivers are honored for health or religious reasons when proper written documentation is shared with the school nurse.

Update, June 2008 - The State Department of Health and Senior Services has issued a new set of immunizations for all students entering the Grade 6 and Pre-School. Please click here to review the new immunzation requirements.
