Dear Stratton Community,
Please check out the June edition of the APS Elementary Nurses' Newsletter. In this edition, learn how to access Arlington Eats over the summer, review summer safety tips and reminders about medications at school.
As the last day of school approaches, the Stratton Health Office would like to wish you and your family a safe and healthy summer. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We have some important information and reminders for you:
- Medications at School - Per APS policy, parents/guardians or a responsible adult may pick up your medication stored in the nurse’s office on your student’s last day of school. Please reach out to me (Nurse Jen) if you have any concerns about this. Any medication not picked up by the end of the last day of school on June 23 will be discarded (Note: this day is an 11:30am dismissal).
- Last day of school:
- June 16th - Kindergarten
- June 23rd - Grades 1-5 (11:30 am dismissal)
- Physical Exams - Per MDPH regulations, all students entering Kindergarten and 4th grade are required to submit a Physical Exam during the 2024-25 school year. If you haven’t already done so, please send in your child’s physical. For the 2025-26 school year, physicals are required for the same grades.
- *All incoming Kindergarten students must have a Physical Exam & Up-to-Date Immunization Record on file with the school before starting school. Please contact your school nurse if you need assistance in obtaining a physical exam or vaccines for your child.
Primary care providers are scheduling routine well visits for children for physicals & immunizations now. Please contact your child’s PCP as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. Over the summer, you may send Physicals, Immunization Records, and updated Allergy and Asthma Action Plans via email to me at [email protected]. Kindly visit the Health & Nursing Services page on the APS website for other forms, info & resources.
