School Physicals:  New York State requires all 9th & 11th grade students and new entrant students to the School District to have a physical on file with the school.  If your child has had his/her physical, but has not turned in the physician's form, please do so as soon as possible.  

*It must be on the Required NYS School Health Examination Form.*  

Students who have not turned in documentation of a physical will be examined by the school physician.
