Nurses Note

PLEASE complete your student’s emergency card in the Power School Portal ASAP. This card contains vital information needed in case of an emergency, as well as permission to administer over-the-counter medications if needed. Health input cannot be provided for evaluations without a completed card. We currently have an unprecedented number of incomplete cards.

6th Grade: A physical exam dated within the past year is required by the PA School Health Code. Please submit this form through PowerSchool under Forms - Physical Exam, or email it to coaryl@tesd.net.

7th Grade:

  • Students must provide documentation of the MCV and Tdap vaccines before the first day of school to avoid exclusion, per state requirements. Submit these under Forms - Proof of Immunization on PowerSchool or email them to coaryl@tesd.net.
  • A dental exam within the past year is also required. Upload this to PowerSchool under Dental Exam or email it to napolil@tesd.net.

Thank you for ensuring your student’s health records are up to date!
