What do I need to make sure is included on the NYC DOH Annual Physical Form?
Your child needs an annual physical exam, which includes your child's height, weight, blood pressure, and results of both vision and hearing exams, to be performed by a licensed practitioner, no later than a year from their previous exam. Newly-dated printouts of information from old exams are not acceptable.
By when do I need to input information into Magnus?
All sections must be completed and up-to-date by July 15, 2023.
Can I give any medical information directly to the Admin team or my child's teachers?
No. All information, including forms from family physicians, should be input directly into the Magnus system. Please do not give anything to teachers or the admin team.
How is over-the-counter medicine administered?
No medication, including over-the-counter medication, can be given without parental AND healthcare provider consent. - Over-the-counter medication will be dispensed at the discretion of Smith Street Staff.
- The amount of medication dispensed is based on your child’s age and weight.
All medication is to be dispensed in the office. Please do not give your child medication to be taken during the day—including cough drops.
