Physical Examination, Dental, Vision & Immunizations:

In addition, children entering kindergarten, first grade children entering school for the first time, second grade children, and sixth grade children will be required, by law, to submit a dental examination form to the school. (The physical and vision examination must have been completed within one year prior to the child entering school.) The District requires the physical and vision examination and immunizations be presented to the school officials two weeks prior to the first day of school. Failure to comply with the physical examination and immunization requirements will cause the child to be excluded from school. A vision examination, by a licensed physician or optometrist, is required upon entry into Kindergarten (or entering school for the first time). Failure to comply with the dental and vision examinations will result in withholding the child's report card.
