Physical and Dental Examinations / Forms
The PA Department of Health requires a physical examination of children
*when they enter school for the first time
* before entering 6th grade
*and before entering 11th grade.
A dental examination is required
*when students enter school for the first time
*before entering 3rd grade
*and before entering 7th grade.
Parents are encouraged to have these examinations conducted by their family physician and family dentist. Forms are attached below. The school physician and school dentist may complete examinations of these students who do not have a family doctor or dentist. However, they can only examine students; they cannot treat or prescribe medication. Parents will be contacted if a problem is identified.
The school district requires parents to complete the school health history questionnaire for each child entering school for the first time and update it at the start of the school year. This is an important tool to assess the health needs of your child.
