Nurse's Office
Please assess your student's health in the morning before leaving for the school day. If your student was not feeling well before going to bed please be sure he/she is feeling completely well before making the decision to come to school. This is most important for keeping everyone healthy at Cardinal O'Hara.
THE PHYSICAL FOR THE JUNIOR STUDENT IS DUE NOW WITH THE CONFIRMATION OF THE STUDENT RECEIVING THE MENINGOCOCCAL VACCINATION (MCV) AFTER THE AGE OF 16.
The Junior physical can be turned in during the student's sophomore year.
Please email the form ([email protected]) or have your student deliver it to my office.
A copy of the PIAA physical is acceptable with immunizations
