Health Services

Health Services

To ensure the health and safety of our students, NYSD maintains a Health Office that is staffed by a full-time Registered Nurse (RN).The NYSD Health Office has two important goals:
  1. To help our students to stay healthy and participate in classes so that they can learn.
  2. To avoid the spread of infection to other students and to staff members.
The Health Office will store medication safely as per legal guidelines and only dispense to individual students as per physician’s orders.  Students cannot keep medicine in pockets, bags or lockers.
Medication
If a student’s doctor prescribes medicine that must be taken during the school day, the parent/guardian must bring the medicine in its original container along with a physician’s order/note to the Health Office. The parent can otherwise bring the medicine to the Health Office and have the physician fax the orders directly to the attention of the school nurse at (914) 681-1308.
Required Health Documents for Students
According to New York State law and the New York School for the Deaf attendance requirements, the following items must be provided before your child can come to school:

Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
​

Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record.  However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):​
  • School officials with legitimate educational interest; (NYSD administrators and professionals that work directly with students)
  • Other schools to which a student is transferring;
  • Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
  • Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
  • Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;
  • Accrediting organizations;
  • To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
  • Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and
  • State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.
