IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT PHYSICALS Physicals at SHA in January or February 2013 - Please remember that all 9th and 10th grade students need to submit a current physical to the Health Office. This is a New York State requirement. Reminder notices were recently sent in the mail to those families whose daughter has not turned in a current physical or who will need a new physical soon. The doctor who works for the Amherst Central School District will be at SHA once in January or February to complete the required physicals. If your daughter has not submitted a physical prior to that date, or if you have not notified the Health Office of an upcoming scheduled appointment, then she will be examined by our physician. Some 10th grade students may have submitted a physical last year during 9th grade that was completed in late winter/early spring 2012. That counted as their 9th grade physical, and they will need a new one as well. Please let the school nurse know if those students have a scheduled appointment in 2013 or if you would like them examined by our physician. Also, if there are any athletes planning on playing spring sports and they are unable to see their own doctor and submit a current physical in time for tryouts, please ask the school nurse to schedule you an appointment with the physician. The doctor is only here one day per school year. The nurse can be reached at 834-2101 ext. 307. CARING FOR THE CAREGIVER These days of holidays are always hectic and we have a lot of SHA community members who are caregivers for their parents, siblings, etc. Sister Diane Gianadda is giving a workshop at Stella Niagara on Caring for Caregivers. Please see Page 5 for more details if interested.
