All students have 14 days from the start of school to be completely immunized or they will not be permitted to come to school until they meet all immunization requirements. Any child that does not meet NYS immunization compliance as of September 17, 2025, will not be allowed to attend school until proof of immunization compliance is received.

Review parental responsibilities and school vaccination requirements as per NYS requirements.

Medications: Children are NOT allowed to bring ANY medications to school or to carry any medications. This includes common over-the-counter medications. All medication that you feel your child may require while in school will need a medication administration form completed by the parent and the student’s primary physician.

If you would like our nurses to administer any medication (prescription, vitamin, or any over-the-counter medication) please fill out the appropriate form. The form must be dated July 1, 2024, or later for it to apply to the 2024-2025 school year. Both form and medication must be brought to the school’s Health Office by a parent, guardian, or designated person 18 years of age or older.

Cough drops, throat lozenges, gum, and lollipops are not allowed due to choking hazards. Lip balm (such as Chapstick) is allowed and encouraged. The Health Office can provide a form that you can bring to your physician to complete.

Reporting an Absence: All absences are entered into School Dismissal Manager. This is the system Primrose Elementary School uses for dismissal as well as late arrivals and absences. If your child is diagnosed with a contagious illness (i.e., Strep, Flu, COVID, pink eye, or any other highly contagious illness) please call or email the Health Office as soon as you are aware. Each illness warrants its own length of time needed to stay home to ensure we are keeping our students, families, and staff safe and healthy. If your child is ill and you are unsure of how to proceed, please reach out to the Health Office.

Physical Education: A note from a physician is needed for students to be excused from physical education. We may excuse a student for ONE day only with a note from home; but any injury requiring a doctor visit (i.e. stitches, fractured or broken bones, surgical procedures, sprains, etc.) must be accompanied by a note from student’s physician stating what restrictions will be imposed for both PE and recess, and for length of time. We ask that proper attire be worn for PE (sneakers preferred) to decrease chance of injury.

Recess: Children go outside every day for recess if temperatures are at least 15 degrees and weather permitting. Please dress your child appropriately. Jackets, hats, and gloves are recommended especially during the colder months. No flip-flops please.

Our school nurse is available to help support families and students. If there are any questions or need of any further information you can reach out to Brianna Penzo, RN, at (914) 248-8020 or you email, bpenzo@somersschools.org with any questions or concerns you may have.
