New York State Education Law requires a physical exam be conducted for all students in Grades Kindergarten, 2, 4, 7, and when a student enters the district for the first time (transfers in from another school).
Many parents prefer to have their own physician do the exam. A private physician provides the extra benefit of not only consulting with the parent on the child's growth and development, but can also provide the needed immunizations and follow-up care.
**Reports of physical exams done by private physicians must be dated within 1 year previous to the start of the school year (or transfer date, if transferring from another district) and no later than 15 days after entering school.
The school district also provides this service, using our school physician, during the school year. Students who do not have a physical exam on file in the Health Office will be scheduled for the exam in school.
Please submit completed forms before the first day of attendance, so that the child's Health Record will be in order.
