Nurse

Welcome to the School Health Office Information Page…..

This site is currently a work in progress but I will try to add helpful documents and links that pertain to our children’s health as well as school health compliance.  

If you need any assistance with a health related matter, don’t hesitate to contact the Nurse’s Office by calling the school (631-668-2474) and selecting the option for the nurse.  You may also email me at rwatson@montaukschool.org or message me by searching my name on ParentSquare.

IMPORTANT QUICK FACTS

  • A physical exam is required for entering PreK, Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th grades.  If your child has their physical anytime during the preceeding year – ask for a copy! 
  • A doctor’s note is required for a student to sit out of PE class- if they are seen by doctor or hospital for an injury or illness please ask for a note with guidance regarding recommendations for their return to school and sports
  • Please let the school know if your child will be absent for any reason! 
  • If your child is prescribed any medications that they may need during school hours a doctor’s order is needed- this document can be found below under “Medication request form”

 

Lice Information

Please read the information linked below about lice treatment and school policies:

For information about Cetaphil treatment on the document below.

 Dear Parents,

     From time to time, a case or two of head lice occurs here at school. I have had several cases reported to me. Please check your child’s head and keep an eye open for any unusual scratching, especially behind the ears.

     Please remind your child about the importance of only using their own combs, hairbrushes, hats, and hair ties. Attached is an informational sheet about head lice.

     If you should find head lice, PLEASE DO NOT BE EMBARRASSED. It is important to call the school and let me (The nurse) know about it. If you have any questions, you can call me at 668-2474 or call your own family physician. Thank you for your cooperation. Please see the attached file regarding treating lice.
