New York State Physical Examination Requirements

New York State Education Law requires medical examinations for the following children:

BOCES students, new students, students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, grades 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, sports, working permits, and triennially for the Committee on Special Education (CSE).

The following hyperlink can be accessed to obtain the required NYS health examination form.

Since your family physician knows your child's medical background the best, it is recommended that the examinations be preformed by the family physician. Make your appointment early as it can take three months to schedule exams over the busy summer. NYS law requires these exams, and schools are obligated to enforce the requirement.

Please contact the health office with any questions or concerns regarding the completion of this requirement. 631-7436 or 631-7497
