Medical records for schools are a headache for first-graders' parents. After all, this is additional paperwork. In addition, the preparation of a studentās medical card is accompanied by certain examinations. They are not too pleasing to parents. Therefore, many are interested in whether it is necessary to bring along a whole dossier about the state of health of the future first-grader. Maybe you can somehow legally circumvent this requirement? If there is such a chance, what should be emphasized? And in general, what does a medical record look like for a school? Many parents do not even know which doctors need to be passed, as well as what tests need to be passed before entering 1st grade. About all this - further. With timely preparation, this process does not cause any difficulties for parents.
Description
So, the first thing you should pay attention to is how the document under study looks. In general, the studentās medical card is a large A4 paper folder. It contains information about the health status of the child. It is stored at the school nurse all the time, starting from the moment of admission to the educational institution.
A school health card is an analogue of a regular children's medical card. Only, as already mentioned, it is stored in an educational institution, and not in a clinic. This document is used during routine medical examinations. There are entered information about the state of health of the student.
This includes all the medical interventions that are carried out within the walls of the school. For example, dental treatment or vaccinations. The document is crucial. But for many parents, he initially brings a lot of problems. Therefore, some are wondering whether a medical card is required for admission to school.
Long before school
As a rule, this question does not arise if the child went to kindergarten. The thing is that the studied type of medical record will be required earlier. Upon admission to kindergarten. After release from it, the document is handed over to the parents. Further, the medical card should be referred to an educational institution. The child will only have to go through the commission in the prescribed manner.
If the child did not go to kindergarten, then you must apply for primary registration in the clinic, to which the minor is attached. A medical record for a school is not so long if you deal with this issue in advance. The form is issued immediately - forms are available in clinics. But to fill out a document, you have to try.
Where to go
The next question that interests some parents whose children did not go to kindergartens: "And where to go to apply for a studentās medical card?" It has already been said that for this you will need to go to the children's clinic to which the child is attached.
But this is not the only place where they can help. Recently, private medical clinics have been popular. They also issue the document under study. Moreover, when contacting here, the finished form of the school medical card will be ready in just a few days. It all depends on how quickly the child goes through the medical board. In private medical centers it is often possible to do everything in a day.
There is no fundamental difference in the matter of applying for a card. It all depends on the wishes of the parents. It is worth considering that in a state polyclinic, filling out a document can take several weeks, or even months. But such a medical card is completely free. In private clinics, the process is paid, but fast. Everyone solves this question for himself.
Doctors
Need a health card for school? What doctors should examine a child before entering grade 1 in this case? This question interests many. After all, there is no point in passing unnecessary specialists. In the case of a state clinic, this is lost time, and when contacting a private medical center - additional costs.
Now Russia has clearly established a list of specialists who should examine the child, and then record his state of health in the issued document. Among the doctors can distinguish:
- pediatrician (it is recommended to come to him later than all other specialists);
- neurologist;
- Laura;
- orthopedic surgeon;
- optometrist;
- a psychiatrist;
- the dentist.
Only after these examinations will be issued a medical card to the school. Which specialists are needed is already clear. But this is not enough. Have to go through some more procedures.
Analyzes
More precisely, we are talking about passing tests. Each child in admission to grade 1 must be healthy. If there are any specific problems, they are identified on the preschool commission and entered on the medical card.
What a medical card looks like for a school is already clear. Moreover, it is no secret that the list of specialists who should examine the child is not a secret. But, as already mentioned, this is not enough. It is necessary to pass a certain range of analyzes. It is recommended to start with this. And then, with the results obtained, undergo an examination by all the doctors listed above.
Among the tests that are required to apply for a studentās medical card are:
- coprogram (expanded type);
- general urine analysis;
- clinical blood test (detailed).
It is additionally recommended to do an ultrasound of the brain, ECG. If the child has a disability, it also needs to be confirmed. These studies are usually sufficient. The list of tests is sometimes expanded at the discretion of the pediatrician. Therefore, do not be surprised if the child is sent for some more research.
Eternal debate
Is a health card compulsory for school? This issue, as already mentioned, worries some parents. Especially those whose children did not go to kindergarten. After all, not everyone likes the prospect of going to hospitals just so that a child can be taken to a particular educational institution.
Opinions were divided on this issue. Therefore, it is difficult to understand where the truth is. One of the parents says that a medical card is required for the school. Some indicate that this process is not important for admission, but it is desirable to have the documentation being studied. And there are those who consider the studentās medical card an extra document and donāt think about receiving it.
Who is right? Who to believe? Do I need a medical card to go to school? Or can you do without her? In order to correctly answer this question, it is necessary to study the legislation established in the Russian Federation.
In law
What does the law say about this? In fact, everything is not so simple. After all, a medical record for a school for children with disabilities and ordinary minors is a document that many require. Is this requirement valid?
According to the established rules, not really. The thing is that the law on the procedure for admitting citizens to educational institutions (dated February 15, 2012) indicates that parents, at their own request, provide schools with information about the childās health status.
The thing is that the legal representatives of minors have the right to provide any information about the ward to educational institutions. These include medical reports. A medical record for a school is just such a document. Nobody can demand it on admission. This is a direct violation of the law.
School staff opinions
At the same time, school staff still insist that each child undergo a medical commission. They refer to the fact that a minor can be sick with a contagious disease. And a medical record is needed to confirm the absence of such diseases. The requirement is, in principle, normal. But no one can force everyone to a mandatory medical examination.
In addition, such commissions are usually held in schools in October. Doctors examine children and record changes in health status in medical records. Therefore, parents should be aware that their refusal to provide study paper is not a basis for refusing to accept a child in school. Therefore, if there is no desire, then it is not necessary to resort to SMT. A medical card is not issued for school, which means that modern studies of the childās health are also not necessary.
Vaccination problems
Nevertheless, many still believe that the document under study is required to be brought. And without fail. And this must be done before September 1.
Some parents may face one common problem. The thing is that now, for admission to a general educational institution, it is required to go through not only the previously mentioned specialists. Among the mandatory doctors, a TB specialist is also listed. His conclusion is as important as a certificate from a pediatrician.
Judging by the numerous complaints of the parents, the medical record for the school is not issued or is made with great difficulty if the child does not have any vaccinations. It is worth remembering that vaccination in Russia is voluntary. Parents have every right not to vaccinate their children. This is not a reason for refusing to issue an opinion from a TB specialist, as well as for not accepting a child in school.
School inspection
It has already been said that after the start of the school year, children will be examined by certain specialists. A blood or urine test is usually not taken. But doctors are examining the children. A personal record is filed for each child. This document will store information about the minor.
In general education institutions, the necessary doctors of the "medical record" examine the commission. At the same time, the school is not closed - classes continue. Itās just that children take place on a particular day right in the classroom with a quick examination by specialists.
Is this procedure mandatory? Not. Parents have the right to refuse such medical intervention. But then from legal representatives may require a certificate of the health status of the child. Or a whole medical record. In this situation, the requirements are justified. All this is due to the fact that doctors must have information about the state of health of the minor, but only after the child has been enrolled in an educational institution.
Statement of Decision
What else should parents pay attention to? The thing is that the medical record for the school, as already mentioned, is not a binding document. The child must be admitted to an educational institution if the minor copes with all entrance exams and other tests. All the requirements of a medical report and the threat of not accepting a first grader are illegal.
Only legal representatives who do not wish to provide a medical card to the school for any reason must report this. An application is in free form addressed to the principal. There is no need to justify your decision. But itās necessary to inform that legal representatives refuse to provide a childās medical card. This is not a violation of the law.
Health certificate
What if, after a medical examination, a health certificate is required from the child? It will need to be provided. Typically, the conclusion of the pediatrician is sufficient. But before that, it is necessary to go through an examination of all the previously listed specialists. Or you can seek advice at any private SMT clinic. Medical records for schools are not required. Instead, you can simply bring the conclusion of the pediatrician about the absence of contagious diseases in the child.
A health certificate is something like an analogue of a medical record. It is made easier and faster, replaces the document being studied. The range of specialists who make their conclusions remains similar. Therefore, it is not necessary to bring a card to school. Help must also accept. And then at the request of the parents.
If there is no card
What's next? A medical record for a school is an important document. If the parents themselves do not bring it, then the school nurse independently creates an appropriate folder in the form 026. This is precisely the studentās medical record.
Information is entered here either after a routine medical examination, or based on information provided by parents. All refusals from commissions, as well as from dental treatment, must be noted without fail.
In fact, if you study the legislation well, you can see that there should be no problems with a child being enrolled in school due to the lack of a medical card. It is recommended to contact the prosecutor's office, as well as the education department of the village if the future first-grader does not want to enroll in the school just because of physical examinations.
