Student Health
Medical
If there are any specific medical issues that the school needs to be aware of, (e.g. allergic reactions etc.) these should have been noted on the enrolment forms and the Principal advised at the point of enrolment. The Principal will have already passed on this information to the teacher. (However it is always wise to reinforce this by emphasizing such matters with the teacher.) In like manner, if new information becomes available i.e. more current medical information or family details or any other matter that is important for the school to know; as a parent you should advise the teacher but at the same time also let the Principal/school office know immediately.
