Dear Parent/Guardian:

Health exams are required for students entering the school district for the first time and when entering Pre-K/Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th grades.  A copy of the health examination must be provided to the school within 30 days. NYS Education Law, Section 904 allows mandated physical exams to be done in school if a report from your child’s primary health care provider is not received. 

Please have your child's pediatrician fax over a copy of their most recent physical. If your child does not have a current physical, please contact your child’s pediatrician to schedule an appointment and notify the health office with the appointment information. If we do not receive an up to date physical from you, one can be done by our School Physician before the school year ends.

Thank you for your cooperation. Please call your school nurse with any questions or concerns.
