Medical Exams - Grades K, 6 & 11
The Pennsylvania School Health Act, Pennsylvania Department of Health, and Highlands School District stipulates that medical examinations will be required of all first-time enterers (Kindergarten or Grade 1), in Grade 6 and in the Grade 11. The school medical examination may be done by the family physician within the calendar year of that school year (from January 1) and recorded on the form provided by the school and will be accepted for the required examination for that year.
Parents are encouraged to have their children examined by their family physician so as to provide continuity in the child's medical care.
