"School nursing, a specialized practice of public health nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates normal development, and advances academic success. School nurses, grounded in ethical and evidence-based practice, are the leaders that bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student-centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potentials."

If the physical was performed 90 days prior to the start of the sport, a health update must also be submitted.   The required health office forms are located at the bottom of this webpage.  For all other required forms, please go to the Athletics Webpage.  Playing one sport does not guarantee eligibility for the next sport.  Please see the nurses before the registration deadline to determine what is needed to be cleared.

Medication Administration: Over the Counter and Prescription

The school nurse, according to the West Morris Regional High School District standing orders, may administer designated Over-The-Counter (OTC) medications during school hours. For the students' convenience, we stock Tylenol (Acetaminophen), Advil (Ibuprofen), Benadryl (Diphenhydramine), and Tums (Calcium Carbonate Antacid).

All
PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION must be accompanied by written permission from both a parent/guardian and physician. There are separate forms for prescription medication, self-administration of inhalers, and self-administration of epinephrine auto-injectors.

Prescription medication shall be brought to the school by the parent/guardian unless other arrangements have been made with the nurse. It must be in the original prescription container, labeled with the name of the student, medication, dosage and name of the physician. All medication is to be taken home by the parent when it is no longer needed or at the end of the school year.

The West Morris Regional Board of Education forbids any student from carrying any medication (OTC or prescription) without the knowledge and consent of the administration and school nurse. Medication includes all medicines prescribed by a physician including emergency medications, such as inhalers, epinephrine auto-injectors and all non-prescription OTC medication.
Please contact the nurses for more information.
