Dear Parents/Guardian:
Attached are the health forms required for each student. A copy of immunization
dates, the Health Data Form, and the Emergency Contact Form must be presented
at the time of registration. Please notify the Fell Charter Elementary School nurse of
any changes to this information that may occur during the school year.
Our school health program also recommends regular dental examinations. Dental
examinations are required for students first entering school either in Kindergarten or as
a new student, and also in third grade, and seventh grade. An examination done by a
private dentist within twelve months prior to the opening of school or during the school
year will be accepted as the required examination and must be recorded on the
enclosed dental form.
All immunizations must be up-to-date. If the student is not current with his/her
immunizations, he/she will not be admitted until they are updated. Any student 13 years
and older must have a second dose of the varicella vaccine. Please see the attached
form for the new vaccine regulations for the 2011-2012 school year. These
requirements do allow for medical and religions exemptions.
Children who need medication during school hours or who have other special needs are
advised to speak with the school nurse. Please refer to the medication policy forms in
this packet.
