Check with the nurse to determine a schedule of dates when the physician will be at the school. If your child has a physical done by your own physician please provide a copy to the nurse as soon as possible. Physicals are good for one year.

Sports Physicals are offered at the school. Fall sports physicals are done in June. Please see the nurse for more info. The health office will offer a few sessions for spring sports, please check with the nurse for more details.
