Very Important Notice to parents of Grade 6 Students: Per state regulations, section 10-206, every grade 6 student must have a physical exam, with any updated immunizations needed, during the grade 6 school year. The physical must be performed between June 1 or your child’s 5th grade year and the last day of school for the 6th grade. If the assessment is not submitted by the last day of school in grade 6, the student may not be allowed to enter 7th grade. Follow this link to Health Information and Physical Form. Please be aware that doctor’s appointments for routine, well physical exams, fill quickly especially in the spring. You should phone your doctor’s office early for an appointment allowing yourself enough time to get the grade 6 physical completed in a timely manner. Injured and/or chronically ill students Students who are injured and/or that have a chronic illness and cannot participate in PE must obtain a doctor’s note indicating the nature of the injury or illness and the length of time that the student needs to be excused. If your child is on crutches, the doctor’s note must include permission for your child to be on crutches and use the elevator, if necessary, while in school. Flu outbreaks among
