PRESCHOOL PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
Virginia School Law (22.1-270) states that no pupil shall be admitted for the first time to any public kindergarten or elementary school in a school division unless such pupil shall furnish, prior to admission, a report from a qualified licensed physician of a comprehensive physical examination of a scope prescribed by the State Health Commissioner performed no earlier than twelve months prior to the date such pupil first enters such kindergarten or elementary school. No physical will be accepted before 8/7/2023. Only physicals from 8/7/2023 till the start of the 2024-2025 school session will be accepted. Please make sure the immunization section is completed and signed by the physician. A form is enclosed for your child’s physician or health department to complete. We cannot accept it unless it is signed.
IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
As required by Virginia School Law (22.1-271.2), no student shall be admitted by a school unless at the time of admission the student or his parent or guardian submits documentary proof of immunization to the admitting official of the school or unless the parent or guardian submits an affidavit stating 1) that the administration of immunizing agents conflict with the student’s religious tenets or practices; or 2) that the school has written certification from a licensed physician or a local health department that one or more of the required immunizations may be detrimental to the student’s health.
PLEASE INITIAL THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR CHILD IS REQUIRED TO HAVE AN UPDATED PHYSICAL AND IMMUNIZATIONS BEFORE THE START OF THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR.
