KHS Health Room

Welcome to the Kensington HS Virtual Health Room

My name is Colleen May and I am the School nurse here at Kensington High School.

For ALL students:

Each year, the district and state require that every student complete the Student Health Status Form (S865). This form provides valuable information regarding your son/daughter’s health condition. This form also provides permission for your child to opt out or take Tylenol/ and or ibuprofen during the school day. The S865 form is attached. Please print it out, complete it, and mail it back to cmay@philasd.org.

Immunization Requirements:

All students are required to be up to date with their immunizations. Please be sure that your child is up to date with all required district and state requirements on the first day of school, and turned in during registration. All Incomplete vaccines are due by the 5th day of the admission date or an appointment date is required for admission to the school. A copy of the required immunization schedule is attached.

By the time students enter the 12th Grade/16 years old, they are required to have a second Meningitis Vaccine (MCV4) or booster. Please check your child’s records and make an appointment with your child’s provider if necessary.

Physical Examinations:

All 11th-grade students are required to have a physical examination by their primary doctor. Please be sure to schedule an appointment with your child’s doctor and have the MEH-1 Form completed at the visit.

For all students who require MEDICATION OR TREATMENTS to be given in school:

Any student that is required to take medication or receive treatment during the school day, (such as asthma inhalers, diabetes medications, ADHD or seizure medications, etc) must have a MED-1  Form filled out by their doctor. Please request a specific form for Seizures and Asthma medications.

Some students may require a temporary or long-term GYM EXEMPTION:

For any student with a diagnosed medical condition who cannot fully participate in physical education upon return to the school building, please ask the doctor to complete the MEH-23 Form.

Upon completing all forms, please scan them and email them to me at cmay@philasd.org.

I look forward to working with all of you in the coming year.  Please stay healthy and safe!
