Health Record Updates
Updating and submitting health records helps ensure the continued well-being of your child. Please download the appropriate forms and submit them to your student’s health office. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment with your child’s school nurse, please call the appropriate office.
Health Regulations
In 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 downloaded from this site, obtained through your school nurse, or by visiting the District's Web site, www.sbschools.org.
Annual Health Screenings Each year the school nurse conducts the following screenings:• Height and Weight, Blood Pressure - All Grades
Immunizations are required for entry into school to comply with Chapter 14 of the New Jersey Sanitary Code. They include diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, measles, rubella, mumps, polio, varicella and Hepatitis B vaccines.
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.
