Physical/Health Form Requirements

Completion of the Commonwealth of Virginia School Entrance Health Form  is required for all Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Transfer Students. The Health Form must be completed and on file in our school office prior to the start of the new school year. 7thgrade students are required to have an updated immunizations record submitted to the school clinic prior to the start of the school year.

Completion of the Confidential Health History Form is required at the beginning of each school year for returning students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade, and is completed by the parents. Please annotate any changes in your child’s health history, including updates in allergies, even if they do not have anaphylactic reactions.

A School Physical is only required for the first day of school in grades Pre-K and Kindergarten, but is requested after your other child/ren has had their annual health physical so that we can maintain up to date records for your child’s health and safety.

NOTE: ALL medications must be hand-delivered by an adult to the school nurse with the associated form completed and signed. Students are not allowed to self-carry medications in elementary school, with a few exceptions by permission of their physician.
