Annual Health Requirements

Enrolled families are required to update their child’s health requirements annually. This page provides directions for this process. 

Please read each item carefully to determine what is needed for your child to prevent having to take multiple trips to your child’s physician to have additional forms completed.

All required forms can be downloaded below. To download, click on the form title. All forms must be signed and stamped by your child’s physician.  

Note: We require these specific forms. Alternate forms will not be accepted. 

Health Assessment:  All enrolled families are required to provide a physician signed and stamped health assessment for their child annually.  Please ensure that the sections for TB Skin Test and Lead Testing are not left blank.  A TB skin test/screening is required every other year. For the TB Skin Test, the physician must write the results of the TB Skin test or write screened and the date. N/A is not acceptable. Leaving that section is not acceptable.
