Welcome to Yantacaw!  

It is my privilege to help care for your child while in school. Below you will find some procedures that are to be followed in helping to safeguard your child's health in accordance with district policy and NJ state law.

Please do not send your child to school if they have a fever.  They must be fever free WITHOUT medication for 24 hours before returning to school.  If your child vomits or is sent home for vomiting they may not return until 24 hours after after the last time they vomited. 

Medications may only be administered in school by the nurse or parent. Written permission from a child's physician is required for any medication to be administered in school (including ANY over the counter medications- Tylenol, Motrin, topical creams, etc.).

Please submit a current doctor's order for all medication I will be administering.  I need new orders at the start of every year.

Asthma, Allergy, Seizure and Diabetic medication requires special documentation. Appropriate forms can be found below.

All incoming Kindergarten families please send in and extra set of clothing including underwear and socks. 

Families with children entering 6th grade please submit proof of their Meningitis and Tdap vaccine by 8/14/25.   

It would also be helpful if at the beginning of the year, September 3rd and on the return to school on January 5th 2026 each student bring in a box of tissues, if you are able.

I have also posted other policies and forms that you may need this year.   Please feel free to contact me for any concern you may have.

 

Warm regards, 

Nurse Steffi
