School Physical Guidelines for 2024-2025

New York State Education Law requires that all students entering Pre-K, Kindergarten, grades 1,3,5,7 and 11, and all students who are new to the district have a physical examination by a NY State Licensed Provider. All physicals must be on the NYS Health Examination Form or the required health record equivalent. 

This certificate must be provided to the school nurse within 30 days of the start of school. Acceptable health certificates may be dated anytime within 12 months prior to the start of the 2024/2025 school year (September 4, 2023 or later).
It is recommended that this examination be scheduled with your child's health care provider who knows your child best. 

Please have your child's health care provider complete the Required NYS School Health Examination Form or contact your child’s  health office if you would like your child to have a physical at school with our Board of Education Appointed Health Care Provider. 

If your child has a physical scheduled, please notify the health office of the appointment date. 

*If a copy of physical or a physical appointment date is not received a physical exam will be conducted at school by a BOE appointed health care provider.
