Health Requirements
Health Forms Needed For School
Thank you to families that are working to ensure students have all necessary health paperwork by the first day of school!
Physicals and Immunizations must be submitted on or before September 15 to prevent exclusion from school. (Exclusion applies to physicals and immunizations requirements only).
Families will find the annual health history questions embedded in the electronic registration process through PowerSchool. All students complete this form annually.
Physicals & Immunizations
The physical must be completed within one year of the start of school. As long as the physical was completed after the first day of school last school year, it will be valid for the upcoming school year.
