Supporting Student Health & Well-Being
Monroe Township Public Schools' nursing team supports student health and well-being throughout the school day. Our nurses provide care, health screenings, medication support, and assistance with chronic health conditions while working closely with students, families, staff, and healthcare providers.
Use this page to find your school nurse, access health forms and action plans, review immunization requirements, and find important health information for families.
Sickness Policy
Monroe Township Public School District adheres to requirements set by the NJ Department of Health.
As general guidelines, keep your child home if:
- They have a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit within the past 24 hours
- They have had episodes of vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
- They are not well enough to participate in class
What if they're feeling better but still have a ‘runny’ nose?
If your child has been ill and is feeling better, but still wakes up with minor problems such as a runny nose or mild cough, you can send them to school if none of the three circumstances listed above are present. Please make sure that the school has a phone number where you can be reached during the day if symptoms that are more serious develop, and they need to return home.
