Welcome to the Health Office Page
Welcome to the Peter Muschal Elementary School Health Office. We are here to support the health and safety of all students.
Our health team includes Lucy Carney, School Nurse, and Sheila Taney, our part-time Preschool Nurse, who is in the building 4 hours each day. We look forward to working with you throughout the school year.
All medication and health forms are located on the right side of this page.
Attendance
If your child will be absent or tardy, please complete the Report Absence/Tardy Google Form on the Peter Muschal Main Page.
Contact Information
Please keep your phone numbers and emergency contacts up to date so we can reach you if your child becomes sick or injured during the school day.
Medical Conditions
If your child has any medical condition we should be aware of, please notify the Health Office as soon as possible. This includes, but is not limited to, diabetes, seizures, heart conditions, severe allergies, asthma, or any injuries that may affect your child during the school day.
New Student Enrollment

Medication at School
If your child needs medication during the school day:
- A Medication Administration Order Form must be completed by a physician and signed by a parent/guardian.
- This applies to both prescription and over-the-counter medications.
- Students may not carry medication during school hours.
- All medication must be brought to school by an adult and prescription medication must be in the original labeled bottle.
All BRSD schools may administer Tylenol or Ibuprofen with parental consent through InfoSnap, so these medications should be kept at home.
Asthma
Students who use an inhaler at school must have a completed New Jersey Asthma Action Plan, signed by both the parent/guardian and physician.
Life-Threatening Allergies
Students who require an EpiPen must submit a completed EpiPen Administration Order Form from their physician. Please contact the Health Office so we can help ensure a safe school environment.
Reminder
Medication forms are valid for one school year only and must be renewed each school year.
All required health and medication forms can be found on the right side of this page.
