2024-2025 Kindergarten and Preschool Medical Documentation ALERT

At this time, please be sure to provide me with your child's required medical documentation.  This documentation is required prior to attending school.  

Medical documentation includes your child's UPDATED physical exam and immunization record.  

• The physical exam needs to be within 365 days of the start of school.  The exam can be documented on the Universal Health Form, but I will accept your doctor's form as well.  
• The immunization record must be up-to-date and include the 4/5 year old boosters. 

• How to get records to me:  You can scan/email to jluisi@jefftwp.org , fax to (973) 697-3569,  or you can drop forms off at the school.  Over the summer, the Principal and Secretary are present during the day and will collect forms as needed.

Please understand that your child's medical records MUST be complete prior to them attending school in September.  The health department is very strict about this policy for all student attending school for the first time.  Thank you so very much, in advance, for your cooperation!

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at jluisi@jefftwp.org or (973) 697-4777 ext 5535.

If you were unable to attend the Kindergarten or the Preschool Orientation, please be sure to reach out to me for a copy of my Cozy Lake Health Office Packet.  The packet reviews important  information related to the health and wellness policies here at Cozy that are important for you to be aware of prior to sending your child in the fall. 

At this time, please be sure to provide me with your child's required medical documentation.  This documentation is required prior to attending school in the fall.  

Medical documentation includes your child's physical exam and immunization record.

Tasty Tuesday - Eat a Rainbow!

Why are they so many songs about rainbows???  Because they are amazing and beautiful-not just in the sky, but also on the dining table!  "Eating a rainbow" helps your body get a complete range of nutrients.

 

What does it mean to "eat a rainbow"?

 

Choose a variety of different-colored whole foods throughout the day and week.  The more naturally occurring colors on your plate at each meal or snack, the better.   It DOES NOT mean making a rainbow with artificially colored foods like Gummy Snack, Popsicles, or Soda. 

Fruits and vegetables get their color from naturally occurring micronutrients-such as vitamins and phytonutrients-which are essential for good health. One key function of these nutrients is antioxidants, which include beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, and vitamins A, C, and E.  Not all antioxidants have color, but eating a colorful range of food helps you get them all.
