Support Services
The Academy of Saint Elizabeth provides offers a competitive academic program whose aim is to challenge each student's intellect, stimulate her desire to learn and reward her efforts to achieve her full potential. Success in such an environment is possible through guidance counseling, college counseling and strict adherence to the New Jersey health regulations.
Guidance Department
Guidance counselors meet regularly with students on a one-to-one basis, working closely with them and their parents to ensure that specific educational needs and
expectations are met. While course selections and college planning are always a priority, the guidance department also addresses many other student concerns. Whether
they are personal, social, or academic, counselors are available to discuss the wide variety of issues and problems that affect young women today.
Health Office
A part-time Registered Nurse staffs the Health Office for four hours each school day. All medical concerns, health forms and medications are handled through this
office.
Physicals
All students. All Students are required to have a complete physical prior to entrance, submitted on the all purpose form called: New Jersey
Department of Education Annual Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination Form (Parts A & B). Only physicals on this form can be accepted. It should
include any specific health issues, restrictions, allergies and medications. A list of required immunizations recorded with the month, day and year must
accompany this form.
Student athletes. A physical is required annually for athletes and is good for one year from the date of the last physical. It is suggested that whenever a student has a physical by her private physician, she has one of our forms filled out and submitted to the Health Office in case the student decides to try out for a sport at a later date. Only physicals submitted on our form will be accepted.
Please be advised that, at the beginning of each sports season, a parent/guardian is required to fill out and resubmit a new Part A: Health History Questionnaire. This form confirms that as far as the parent/guardian knows nothing has changed with regard to the student’s health since her physical with her physician.
Example: 3 sports = 1 physical (Part B) + 3 health history questionnaires (Part A)
Medications
Medication taken during the school day must be accompanied by the required documentation. The parent supplies all medication. Specific forms can be
downloaded below.
