The district's school health services program supports your student's academic success by promoting health in the school setting. One way that we provide care for your student is by performing the health screenings as mandated by the State of New York.

During the school year, the following screenings will be required or completed at school.

HEALTH APPRAISALS - A physical examination including Body Mass Index and Weight Status Category Information is required for all newly entering students and students in Kindergarten Grades k,1,3,5,7 within 30 days of entry.If we do not receive a health appraisal for your child in  Grades K, 1,3,5,7,9 & 11 she/he will be seen by the District Medical Director at his next scheduled visit to their building.

DENTAL CERTIFICATES - A dental certificate is requested for all newly entering students and students in, Grades k,1,3,5,7,9, & 11 within 30 days of entry.
