Physical Exam:

New York State law requires a health examination for all students entering the school district for the first time and when entering Pre-K, K,  and 1^st grade. The examination must be completed by a New York State licensed physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner within the past year starting from the first day of school.

• A copy of the health examination must be provided to the school within 30 days from when your child first starts at school, and when your child starts Pre-K or K, 1^st ,3^rd , 5^th, 7^th , 9^th & 11^th If a copy is not given to the school within 30 days, the school will contact you.
• If your child has an appointment for an exam during this school year that is after the first 30 days of school, please notify the Health Office of the date.
• Communication between private and school health staff is important for safe and effective care at school. Your healthcare provider may not share health information with school health staff without your signed permission. Please talk to your provider about signing their consent form for the school at the time of your child’s appointment for the examination.

Dental Van is available by appointment and changes locations monthly. To make an appointment, call 716-560-5127. They provide exams, cleanings, fillings, and X-rays. Ages 2-20. They take Medicaid and Fidelis. If you have no insurance, you can get a discounted rate. For other insurance providers, you will need to send the paid bill for reimbursement. 

We suggest you make copies of the completed forms for your own records before sending them to the school health office. Forms may be faxed to Temple at 716-267-9420
