This is a state requirement and students without the appropriate documentation can be excluded from school if proof of an upcoming appointment (temporary waiver) or religious exemption form is not provided.

A school physical is ONLY REQUIRED FOR KINDERGARTEN or if a STUDENT TRANSFERS from another school district. Afterwards, there is no need to send a copy of a physical examination until middle school.
