News from the Health Office for 5th Grade Parents
Recently, 5th graders brought home an envelope with important health information. The envelope will include a letter with information regarding the health requirements for 6th grade, a physical examination form and a dental exam form.
The school nurse needs each student’s health records, so that they can begin 6th grade. Please return completed exams to the elementary school health office before Memorial Day or to the middle school after this date. The physical and immunization requirements MUST be completed and turned in by the first day of school. Please make your appointment now.
If you have any questions regarding the health requirements, please feel to contact the Health Office
