Physical Examinations
Along with the immunizations (Blue Cards) to start school, all students need a Physical Examination form, only one in their school career, within a year of entering school for the first time. Currently this is a gold form and only available from your physician at the time of the examination. There is also a section for the parent to complete regarding medical history.
In the registration packets, each year, there is a Health Information Form (PCDSB Form: E-43) that must be completed and returned to the school health room. Also in the registration packet is the Pupil Information sheet and on the back side, parents need to sign consents for their student to have health screenings, vision, hearing, scoliosis, and weight/heights done.
Immunizations- Make sure your child
is ready for kindergarten or for entering 7th grade. See your physician
or visit the Putnam County Health Department now. Immunization requirements |
