General Information

There have apparently been a significant number of cases (700 to date) of “rougeole” (measles) in Switzerland this year. Parents are advised to contact their family physicians regarding the need for vaccination.
Please note that only new students are required to have a newly completed medical certificate. As well, new students coming from countries considered to be at-risk for tuberculosis require a Mantoux test. All students, new and returning, require a new (pink) emergency card. Parents of children who are allergic or who have specific medical conditions should contact the school nurse.
The Infirmary should be provided with a prescription and supply of any medication that students may be required to use during the school day.
Given the number of children who come to school weighted down by heavy backpacks, there will be an information stand and the possibility to weigh backpacks in reception in the coming weeks. Please do speak to your child about backpack health. Overloaded bags can cause both acute and chronic injury.
