Physical Screening
Physical examination by the student's family health care provider or medical home is required for all students entering Kindergarten and transfer students, as well as students engaging in interscholastic sports. This physical must be performed within 365 days from the first day of school and must be provided to the school nurse within 30 days of enrollment. A physical is recommended annually and particularly at grades three, six, and ten. School nurses conduct a variety of other screenings (as required by law); however, they are not meant to take the place of examinations by your personal physician.
