The use of PE attire is needed to maintain a proper level of hygiene and also gives a feeling of being prepared and responsible. By wearing the school uniform a sense of pride and unity is promoted and the image of our school both on campus and in the community is enhanced.

NOTE: If students have their uniforms from last year, they do not need to repurchase them. Individual garments will be sold.

ACS Athens Health Office Requirements

During enrollment, parents must register their children with the school nurse.

Certain forms need to be filled out concerning the health of each child. Additionally, parents are urged to update these forms whenever changes occur during the school year. The Health Office forms are:

1. School Health Record Card

   This card consists of general information on the child, and also a section for names and telephone numbers of persons to reach in case of emergency. This form also has a section for reporting any special health problems (allergies, medication requirements, etc.) that a child may have. It is important that the Nurse has this information for the safety of each child.

   Parents are required to give authorization to allow the Nurse to administer non-prescription medication (aspirin or non-aspirin pain reliever, for example). After completing the card, parents must sign on the space provided at the bottom.

2. Emergency Form

   It is necessary that parents complete this form. In the event of an emergency the child may need to be transported to a hospital. This form is divided into two sections; parents need only complete one or the other.

   Section 1 gives permission for a child to be transferred to one of the listed hospitals, all of which are near the school. Section 2 should be completed if parents wish to choose a different hospital or clinic not listed in Section 1.

3. School Health Examination

   The ACS Athens Health Office requires that EVERY new student has a physical examination carried out and signed by a QUALIFIED PHYSICIAN (updated yearly). If a child has had a check-up within a year prior to registration, then a photocopy of the record of this examination will suffice. The physical examination form must be emailed or submitted to the Health Office within 14 days from the date of registration.
