First Grade Requirement

HEALTH EXAMINATION FOR 1ST GRADE

 

Dear Parent or Guardian:

 

As part of the enrollment process the State of California Extensive Child Health Screening Law (H & SC 124100) requires that all children must have a health examination within the 18-month period prior to entering first grade or within 90 days after first grade entry. Hence the one you completed for TK entry must be repeated to meet the grade one requirement and must be on the PM171 form. (If you belong to Kaiser Permanente, they have this form set up electronically.)

 

We strongly recommend the health examination be done before entering first grade.

The health examination should include the following: a health and developmental history, a physical examination, an assessment of nutritional status, necessary immunizations, tests for anemia, diabetes, urine problems, tuberculosis, vision, hearing, dental screening and blood tests for sickle cell and lead levels, if necessary.

 

Please return the completed examination certificate to St. Juliana School. If I can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to call me at (714) 871-2829.
