INCOMING 6th Graders - Proof of receiving Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines (immunization form, information on Doctor's prescription or letterhead) needs to be submitted to Mrs. Kurzum, GCMS Nurse prior to starting school.  This documentation can be scanned or photographed and emailed to lkurzum@cwcboe.org, mailed to my attention at 36 Academy Rd., Caldwell, NJ 07006; or delivered to GCMS and the secretaries will make sure it is put in my mailbox.  If you have any questions or concerns, the best way to reach me over the summer is via email.

Illness Update  ......

To decide whether or not to send your child to school, please consider the following guidelines:

Consider keeping your child at home for an extra day of rest and observation if he or she has any of the following symptoms:

• Very stuffy or runny nose and/or cough
• Mild sore throat (no fever, no known exposure to strep)
• Headache
• Stomach ache

Definitely keep your child at home for treatment and observation if he or she has any of these symptoms:

• Fever (greater than 100 degrees and your child may return to school only after his or her temperature has been consistently below 100 degrees, by mouth, for a minimum of 24 hours)
• Vomiting (even once)
• Diarrhea
• Chills
• General malaise or feelings of fatigue, discomfort, weakness or muscle aches
• Frequent congested (wet) or croupy cough

Your child should be physically able to participate in all school activities.  Keeping a sick child at home will minimize the spread of infections and viruses in the classroom.

According to our school physician's orders, a child sent home from the nurse's office with a fever or due to vomiting CANNOT  return  to school the next day
