For Students Interested in Playing a Fall 2019 Sport for Copper Beech M.S.

Attention 6^th Grade Parents:  As per New York State Education Law, all students entering 7^th Grade for the 2019/2020 school year must provide the School Nurse with a copy of the student’s most recent physical exam.  A physical exam is considered valid if it is dated on or after September 4, 2018.  If your child has had an exam that falls within this time frame, then please forward the exam results to our Nurse’s Office, since this will satisfy the NYS requirement.  In addition to a physical exam, all 7^th grade students MUST receive the Meningococcal Vaccination as per NYS Department of Health guidelines.  This vaccine must be received before the first day of school in September of 2019, and admittance to school will be denied should your child not have this vaccination.  If your child has not received one as of yet, please contact your MD to make an appointment for your child to receive a vaccination.  Once received, please forward the physical exam and vaccination to the Nurse’s Office.

Attention 8^th Grade Parents:  As per New York State Education Law, all students entering 9^th grade in 2019/2020, must provide the School Nurse with a copy of the student’s most recent physical exam.  A physical exam is considered valid if it is dated on or after September 4, 2018.  If your child has had an exam that falls within this time frame, then please forward the exam to the Nurse’s Office at Lakeland Copper Beech.  If you do not forward it to the Copper Beech Nurse’s Office this year, you will then need to send it to the School Nurse at the high school your child will be attending next year.

Medication Pick Up from Nurse’s Office:  Student medications must be picked up by a parent/guardian or designated adult no later than Tuesday, June 25^th from the Nurse’s Office.  Any medication that is not picked up from school will be disposed of.
