Conduct and Health

HEALTH
Meadowmount is required to obtain a permit from the New York State Department of Health subject to their inspection twice each summer. Questions may be directed to the New York State Department of Health, PO Box 389, Saranac, NY 12983. Meadowmount employs a nurse with regular office hours. Upon registration, our nurse checks health forms and collects all medication from on-campus students under the age of 18. These medications will be dispensed from the nurses' office.

In compliance with State Dept. of Health, no prescription or non-prescription medication of any kind may be kept in the dormitories of students under the age of 18. No on campus or off campus student will be registered without a fully completed medical form including documentation of all immunizations. A physical exam is not required.

It is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended that a student carry medical insurance. Students are responsible for their own medical bills and travel costs to medical appointments.

Meadowmount is proud of its food service and spotless facilities. The Food Service Director makes every effort to provide a variety of nourishing food and accommodates vegetarian students at each meal. Our kitchen staff is notified of any food allergies a student may have. Please note that due to the large volume of food preparation, the kitchen is unable to prepare special foods for individual dietary needs.

CONDUCT
To foster a safe and healthy environment for the Meadowmount community, students are required to abide by the published rules governing behavior. A copy of School rules is given to all students upon arrival. A high degree of social maturity and professionalism is expected from each student including a strong willingness to work together and respect for the feelings of others. Meadowmount reserves the right to dismiss any student who is in violation of Meadowmount rules, laws of New York State, or Department of Health regulations, without refunding any portion of fees paid.

Students under 18 are not allowed to leave campus without parental or counselor supervision. Violation is grounds for immediate dismissal. Students under 18 may leave with a relative over 18 other than parent, if a letter from the parent is on file in the Director's office releasing the school from responsibility.
