Greetings Newtown Middle School Parent/Guardian:


As a student at Newtown Middle School, your child is eligible to receive medical and mental health services offered during school hours through an on-site CIFC Health School Based Health Center (SBHC).


CIFC Health SBHC is different from the school nurse office and school guidance/social work office, as it is staffed by an outside, non-profit entity, CIFC Health. CIFC Health is a federally qualified health center with headquarters in Danbury and has SBHCs throughout the region.


Our medical and behavioral health providers can assess your child’s medical and behavioral health conditions much like pediatric doctor and/or private behavioral health provider practices. We can also diagnosis and treat medical issues like an urgent care facility or minute clinic does, offering same-day appointment on site, without having parent/guardian leave work to take child for care off site.


On-site medical services include:

Complete physical exams, vaccines, diagnose and treat common illnesses such as ear infections, headaches, pneumonia, rashes, strep throat, allergies, health education for nutrition, exercise, weight, asthma education, and inhaler refills. Providers can send prescriptions for medications directly to your pharmacy.


Mental health services include:

Assessment for individual, group, and/or parent family therapy, assistance with peer/family relationships, anxiety/depression, behavior problems, exposure to trauma/loss, poor academic performance/learning challenges, history of or current self-harm and suicidal ideation, and transition to new home/school location.


To use the above services, parent/guardian must complete, sign, and return to the SBHC, the Enrollment forms, and attach a current copy of the front and back side of your child’s insurance card. All information must be filled out on the forms with signatures, or it will be returned to you.


Insurances will be billed for all eligible medical or mental health visits, and invoices for co-pays and/or deductibles will be sent home following scheduled visits.


If your child is not currently covered by a health insurance plan, assistance is available. Please contact CIFC Financial & Insurance Assistance for help enrolling in the Connecticut HUSKY Health Insurance Program or to determine eligibility for a sliding-fee scale payment plan. You may also apply directly to the Connecticut HUSKY program using the contact information below.
