Physical Exams

• Physical examinations are required by State Law in Grades K/1-6-11.

• It is often easier to make appointments when the students are home during summer vacation, therefore, for your convenience, forms are sent home near the end of school if your child is entering into grades K/1-6-11 for the upcoming school year.

• Forms can also be found under "School Health Forms" on my website.
