The purpose of this communication is to inform you of updates to ISB’s HealthRequirements which will require your action and to provide you with the health form for returning students in the 201516 school year.
As we look ahead to the next school year, we want to give families ample time to plan for health appointments and allow for the Health Clinic staff to perform any necessary follow up. In addition, we want to highlight some minor changes to the health form requirements for this year.
For the 20152016 school year, all returning students are required to have a complete
physical examination that includes:
1) Overall health assessment
2) Hearing and vision screening
3) Cardiac evaluation with ECG – Required only for students entering Gr 6, 9, and 11
Annual physicals are an excellent opportunity to provide benchmarks regarding your child’s overall health and to create a picture of progress and development over time. This information enables early detection of emerging issues, a review of immunization status, and the opportunity to inform the school of any changes related to recent illness or injury. For the upcoming school year, a change has been made to limit the ECG requirement for only those students entering Grades 6, 9 and 11. This allows for an age appropriate assessment of health while increasing efficiency in the administration of student health information. These changes were made in consultation with local pediatric health professionals and health resources in the ISB community.
Action required:
All returning students are required to complete and submit the Comprehensive Physical Examination Report Form by June 30, 2015 . Please follow up with your local healthcare provider, a healthcare provider in your home country or take advantage of established ISB Student Packages at either World Medical Center or Bumrungrad International Hospital. When making the appointment, please indicate that the appointment is for the ISB Comprehensive Physical for an existing student. In addition, please bring the Comprehensive Physical Exam form and the student ID (if available) in order to receive the established package pricing. Price details are listed below.
