HEALTH CARE OFFICE

The goal of the health office is to promote the health and well-being of each stud student. To this end, we abide by the following regulations mandated by New York State:

• All entering freshmen must have a current physical examination by their private physician and be completely immunized. Freshmen may not start classes until these health requirements are met. • All junior students are required to have a physical examination by their private physician. • All students are required to have up to date immunizations. Students not in compliance may be suspended until the Health Office clears the student to return. Please to refer to the

NYS Immunization Schedules in Appendix A or contact the school nurse for more information.

Iona Prep will accept all private physical forms or you may use the NYS School Health Examination Form*. Also, changes in a student’s health history should be made known to the Health Office as soon as possible.

SPORT PARTICIPATION:

• Students who wish to participate in an interscholastic sport, including try-outs, must be registered thru www.FamilyID.com and have a current annual physical examination either on file in the health office or properly uploaded into FamilyID.

Be advised that NO STUDENT can participate in our sports program, including try-outs or practice, without a physical exam and on-line registration completed thru Family ID as directed above.

• Any injuries requiring more than a one day gym excuses must have a doctor's note brought to the Health Office, and if the injury requires crutches, the doctor’s note must document the need to use crutches in school. • Only a one-day gym excuse requires a parental note to be brought to the Physical Education instructor. • For students to receive medication in school please have your physician complete the

Medication Administration Form*. Medications may not be administered in school unless there is written parental consent and a medical prescription note on file in the Health Office.

This procedure is also necessary for “over the counter” medications which must be in the pharmaceutical container. • Working paper application forms are available on the school website in the Health link under Student Life tab, or the student may stop in the health office to pick up an application.

A current physical will be required to get working papers at the City Hall in New Rochelle.

* All forms can be downloaded from the Iona website in the HEALTH link found under the Student Life tab.
