Please send in a current physical for your child yearly. The following is a list of reasons that they are needed:
Sports: Every student needs a physical that is current (within a year) of when the try-out begins. If it isn’t current, they cannot try-out.
Registration: A Recent physical is needed when you register your child to attend any Nanuet School.
New York State Mandated Screenings & Physical Exams:

Hearing & Vision Screenings: Required for all 11th graders.
**These mandated screenings will be done in school if we don’t have a record of it by your child’s private physician.
*** Please send in all annual physical forms so we can avoid duplicating services and avoid taking your child out of class.
Immunizations: required for every student.
