Health Requirements for Newly Accepted Students
All accepted students are required to have the following documents on file in the health office prior to starting school. These documents are reviewed by the school nurse to establish that all NYS immunization requirements are met and that your child’s health issues are understood so that pertinent information can be disseminated to the appropriate school personnel. At BGP, we make every effort to see that your child’s school health needs are addressed to ensure a healthy and positive school experience.
- An Official Immunization Record (parent should obtain from health care provider)
- This official document is generated by your child’s health care provider (hcp). It should be legible and written in English.
- A Health Appraisal ( to be completed by your child’s hcp)
- For enrollment purposes, the physical exam can be dated no earlier than September of the school year just completed. Once school begins a health appraisal is required for the current school year.
- Foreign students must also have a physical examination completed by our school physician or a private NYS physician by November 1st.
- A Health History (to be completed by parent)
- Medication Order/Authorization (to be completed by hcp and parent)
- This is left to parental discretion, but is required if your child will be taking prescription or over the counter medication during the school day or has been prescribed emergency use medications. (i.e. Epi Pen, benedryl, inhaler, glucagon)
- Dental Health Certificate (to be completed by your child’s dentist and parent)
- This is optional but recommended.
