Physical Examination:
A complete physical examination is required of all children entering kindergarten or first grade for the first time. Completed physical examination forms must be presented no later than the first day of school in September. No child will be able to attend school without providing all required medical documentation. Only upon completion of this process will a child be fully registered and allowed to begin school. For more information about immunizations and physical examination requirements, contact the Nursing Supervisor, Karen Reynolds, at 781-397-7210.
