A reminder to all 11th grade students:

There are still many of you who have not turned in the required 11th grade physical form to Mrs. Curcio. Please submit them ASAP. Any questions please see Mrs. Curcio.

 

Please be Advised:

All Students entering 11th grade are required by the state to have a physical examination. I am sending a form home now because many students have physicals over summer vacation. I would like to have a physical that is your child's most current so that all immunizations are up to date. The physical form can be returned to me anytime between now, April '09, and the beginning of next school year September '09. If you have any questions please contact me at the High School 610-863-1293 (ext 1109)

Students with Allergies

If your child has been diagnosed with an allergy to bee stings, insects or any type of food , please make sure you have sent in the appropriate medication such as Benadryl and/or Epi Pen as prescribed by your doctor along with the school medication permission form.

If you have any questions or information to share please contact me at your earliest Convenience

Thanks, Mrs. Curcio
