Nurse’s Corner
From Nurse Grace
My name is Grace Maslanka (“Nurse Grace”) and I am the Certified School Nurse for Cramp Elementary.
I am attaching several forms that you may need to have completed at your son or daughter’s doctor appointments.
For ALL Students: Each year, the district and state require that every parent complete the S865 Student Health Status Form in English and Spanish (In printable format). This form provides valuable updates on your son/daughter’s health conditions as well as provides permission for your child to receive emergency medication and Tylenol and/or ibuprofen during the school day. Without this form completed, we are UNABLE to provide these medications to your child during the school day.
Immunization Requirements: All students are required to be up to date with their immunizations. Please be sure that your child is up to date with all required district and state requirements. A copy of the required immunizations is attached.
Physical Examinations: All kindergarten and new students are required to have a physical completed by their primary doctor. Please be sure to schedule an appointment with your child’s doctor and have the attached printable form, MEH-1 in English, and Spanish, completed at the visit. It is imperative that information about a child’s health history exists in school records. This history can be vital in case of emergency or should the need for any type of medical treatment arise while a child is in school.
For students who require MEDICATION in school: For any student that requires medication during the school day (such as asthma inhalers, diabetes medications, ADHD or seizure medications, etc.), please see the attached medication (MED-1) forms. There are specific forms for seizures and asthma inhalers; all other medications can use the standard form. NO medication can be given without a signed doctor’s order.
For students who require a GYM EXEMPTION: For any student that has a diagnosed medical condition that is unable to fully participate in physical education upon return to the school building, please have the attached Medical Exemption (MEH-23) form completed.
Once you have any medical forms completed, etc, please email or send physical copies to me. As well, don’t hesitate to email me at gmaslanka@philasd.org with any questions or concerns.
Stay Healthy!
