Please update your child's medication permissions on Power School

Dear Parents,

A few weeks ago, you were sent an email from our district technology department, requesting that you update your child's health information and over-the-counter medication permissions for this school year.
 If you have not yet done so, please log on and complete the permissions.  It will make it so much easier for me, and your child, if I have this information on hand.

Thank you for your assistance!

7th graders --- bring me your dental exam forms!

Now due :  7th grade dental forms!
100 have been turned in, 200+ more to go!

Please bring your completed dental form to school and drop it off in my office.
Or, have your parents scan it and email it to me  spalic@ucfsd.net

Thank you, 7th graders!

Flu Tips from the CDC

Q. What can families, students, and school personnel do to keep from getting sick and spreading flu? 


Families, students, and school staff can keep from getting sick with flu in three ways:
 

• Practicing good hand hygiene. Students and staff members should wash their hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol- based hand cleaners are also effective. 
• Practicing respiratory etiquette. The main way that the flu spreads is from person to person in the droplets produced by coughs and sneezes, so it’s important to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands. 
• Staying home if you’re sick. Keeping sick students at home means that they keep their viruses to themselves rather than sharing them with others. 

Students, staff, and their families must take personal responsibility for helping to slow the spread of the virus by practicing these steps to keep from getting sick with flu and protecting others from getting the flu.

Immunization Letters

Letters have been sent out to those 6th graders who - according to our records - do not have the required immunizations for 7th grade.  Although this is a very early notice (one year ahead!) it gives plenty of time to obtain the immunizations before the next school year.  Students who do not have the appropriate immunizations for 7th grade (Tdap and MCV) will not be able to start school in August 2018.  If you have received a letter, please send in your  immunization record as soon as the immunizations are received!

6th and 7th graders --- Exam Forms!

It's time to turn in 6th grade physical forms and 7th grade dental forms!
These exams are mandated by the State of Pennsylvania, and must be completed for school attendance.  Examinations from the past calendar year can be accepted.  Find the blank forms on our website.
Students may also see the school doctor or dentist at no charge.  Please contact the school nurse for information.
