Physicals and Dental examination requirements for 2012/13 School Year
According to Pennsylvania School Health laws, if your child is entering kindergarten or grade 6 next year, he or she will need to have a physical exam completed. The physical exam time is also a perfect time for a discussion with your child’s doctor about any additional immunizations that are recommended for your child. Exams should be returned by the first day of school next year.
Reminder: Students entering 7th grade are required to have the meningitis (MCV) and Tdap booster prior to the first day of school in August.
Dental exam for students entering grades 1 and 5 are also required. Forms for students entering grades 1 and 5 next year will be arriving home soon in your child’s report card envelope or communication folder.
