Reminder from Health and Attendance Office

IMPORTANT REMINDER!  When calling your child absent from school, please state the reason for absence.  If due to illness, please state the symptoms.  The school nurse will follow up with any unreported absences as well as clarification of reason for absence if needed.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!  

  

 

6TH GRADE IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS

The state of New Jersey has mandated that all students born after January 1, 1997 and entering grade 6 will be required to receive a booster dose of Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis vaccine (Tdap), as well the Meningococcal vaccine.

 

Students must provide documentation of these two immunizations from their Primary Care Provider.  Students may not enter grade 6, without proof of the above immunizations.  This applies to both in person and remote students. 

 

For children without health insurance, these immunizations may be obtained through Warren County Health Department.  Contact one of the public health nurses at 908-475-7960.

 

HAND WASHING - PREVENTS INFECTION

Hand washing: Before meals, after bathroom, after coughing-sneezing, blowing nose, before bedtime, and after coming in from outside play.

 

NJ FAMILY CARE

NJ FamilyCare - New Jersey's publicly funded health insurance program - includes CHIP, Medicaid, and Medicaid expansion populations. That means qualified NJ residents of any age may be eligible for free or low-cost health insurance that covers doctor visits, prescriptions, vision, dental care, mental health and substance use services and even hospitalization.
