 Mrs. Sharon Binder, R.N.
The School Health Law requires medical examinations for
middle school children in sixth grade, and dental examinations in
seventh grade.
We are recommending that these examinations be done by your family
physician and dentist since they can best evaluate your child’s health
and assist you in obtaining necessary treatments and corrections. The appropriate forms were sent home with your child in May.
Additional forms are available below. Please return these forms on or before October 1st or call
the nurse’s office with the scheduled physical or dental date. If the
forms are not received, then your child will be scheduled to see the
school physician or dentist. If you need assistance obtaining medical insurance for your children,
please contact the school nurse for available resources.
