Bergen Catholic has a full time nurse on duty everyday, who is available to support the physical and emotional health of each student. Bergen Catholic works with our partner Holy Name Medical Center, to provide free physicals by the physicians at HNH Fitness Center in Oradell, NJ. Please refer to the instructions below to book an appointment.

Health Office General Information:

The nurse is available everyday to see students for any illness, injury, medical concern and medication
administration. Any student who is not feeling well should report to the Nurse’s Office. If a student is too
ill to remain in school, the parent or guardian will be contacted by the nurse, and he will be dismissed
from the Nurse’s Office. As a reminder, no student should call, text or email to a parent or guardian
to be picked up from school. The nurse will always allow a student to call and speak with his parent or
guardian from the Health Office.

If a student is ill, he should stay home. Any student must be fever free for 24 hours (without the use of
fever reducing medication) in order to return to school. Please provide any doctor’s notes upon the
student’s return to school. A doctor’s note is required for an absence to be excused. Please refer to
the BC Student Handbook for more information on the Attendance Policy.

Physical Exams and Immunization Records:

Bergen Catholic High School requires an annual physical for ALL students, whether or not they
participate in sports. Each physical is valid for 365 days, and must contain immunization records as
mandated by the State of New Jersey.

All physicals forms must be submitted on the following link for all Bergen Catholic students:

In addition to uploading forms to ArbiterSports, hard copies of all completed physical paperwork must also be submitted directly to the Nurse’s Office.

Medication:

If a student requires medication in school, please refer to the Medication Administration link. No
medication can be administered without the written authorization and required signatures of the doctor
and parent. If the student requires multiple medications, a separate form must be completed for
each medication.
