Physical Exam Requirements

A physical exam is required for all children entering this school system for the first time and for all children entering grades K, 1, 3, 5, 7,9 and 11. (For sports as needed per NYS regs). Proof of this exam must be a signed physician's physical appraisal form. [A physical exam performed within the 12 months prior to the start of the school year is acceptable. All forms are due by October.] If such an examination is not provided, the school is required by law to provide the exam at the school's expense. We prefer that parents make appointments to have the family doctor complete the physical as he/she will perform a more complete physical exam and will give the required immunizations.
