New York State mandates physicals for all students entering grades PK or K,1,3,5,7,9 and 11, and new students entering the school district in any grade. Physical forms are also needed for sports and work permits. This examination may be completed by the child’s own physician or by the school doctor. Students who do not provide proof of a physical examination by a personal physician will be examined by the school doctor at the beginning of the school year. These forms are valid for one calendar year.
