Physical Examinations and Immunization Requirements – Board Policy 6.402

Students entering school for the first time (preschool, kindergarten, first grade and other students for whom there is no health record) must have a physical examination done no earlier than August 1 of the year preceding the year of enrollment. This documentation must be presented by the time of entrance. All other new students and transfer student will have thirty (30) days to present the record of a physical examination by a physician or other health provider. The physical examination contained in the records from the student’s previous school will be acceptable. Students who do not provide proof of a complete, physical examination will be denied admission to school until the appropriate documentation is presented.

No student, including preschool, kindergarten or first grade, those from out-of-state and those from nonpublic schools, will be permitted to enroll and/or attend school without proof of immunizations, as defined by the Commissioner of Public Health except as allowed by the McKinney/Vento Homeless Education Assistance Improvements Act of 2001. It is the responsibility of the parents or guardians to have their child(ren) immunized and to provide proof of immunization to the school which the student is to attend.
