New York State law requires all students in grades k,2,4,7 and 10 to complete a physical. Health Screenings are conducted during the school day by the School Nurse. This exam includes a vision check, height, weight, blood pressure and scoliosis screening. If any problems are detected during the screening process, parents/guardians will be notified of these findings and a referral for follow up care will be given. However if a current physical exam is submitted the school health screening can be omitted.It is suggested that the exam is done by the family physician who best knows your child and is therefore better able to judge any changes or deviation in your child’s state of health. Findings can be discussed and referrals can then all be made in one visit. You may either send in the physical exam with your child or mail it directly to the school. If you prefer, you or your Health Provider can fax a copy to the school. you can find the New York State PE Form here
