Students who are given an HFP (Home For Parent) or a suspension, must surrender their ID card to the

administration. The ID card will be returned only after a “re-admit conference” with the parent/legal guardian

and upon completion of a re-admit slip.

Students must be readmitted to school by their grade level administrator after serving their suspension. Students

will only be readmitted if accompanied by the parent/legal guardian.

All make-up work is the responsibility of the suspended student.

HEALTH & SAFETY

EALTH

ERVICES

A nurse is on duty at all times in the school. If a student is injured or ill, he/she may obtain a pass from the

teacher to visit the nurse. No student is admitted to the Health Office without a pass except in case of an

emergency. The Health Office is open from 8:06 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Only emergency first aid treatment can be

given. The student may be referred to his own doctor for further treatment after the nurse has evaluated the

situation. If it is necessary for a student to go home, he/she must first report to the Health Office, then have a

parent or parent designee pick him/her up at school.

All students are required by law to participate in physical education. Any student who is to be excused from

participation must dress unless he/she has a note from the parent stating otherwise or is excused by a medical

doctor. Students excused from gym must have a written note from a doctor. Students with chronic medical

problems must have a doctor’s note renewed each year.

● Ninth graders are required to have physical examinations provided by the school or, if the parent prefers,

by the family physician. Any new student, regardless of grade, must have a physical examination.

● Athletes are required to have a medical examination as set forth in the rules adopted by the NJ State

Department of Education.

● Vision is tested for Drivers Education, in addition to testing performed as part of physical examinations
