CHDP Kindergarten/1st Physical

Kindergarten/1^st Grade Physical Exam

California’s Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) law requires every child to have a physical examination before entering school in kindergarten. The goal of the health assessment is for the early detection and prevention of disease and disabilities in children.

Parents/guardians are required to present a report of examination or a waiver statement to the school within 18 months prior to entry into first grade or within 90 days of entry into first grade.

Students who have not met this requirement by the appropriate date may be excluded from school attendance. Parents/guardians needing assistance meeting the requirements should call your school for additional information. You are encouraged to complete this exam at kindergarten entry to make sure your child is healthy and ready to learn.

Forms are in English and Spanish
