Report of Health Exam for School (English Spanish)
California’s Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) program mandates that every child have a physical examination before entering school in kindergarten or first grade.

The examination may be completed up to 18 months prior to the start of first grade. Parents/guardians are required to present a report of examination or a waiver statement to the school within 91 days of entry to first grade.

Students who have not met this requirement by the appropriate date may be excluded from school attendance for up to five days. Parents/guardians needing assistance meeting the requirements can call (800) 675-2229. You are encouraged to complete this exam at kindergarten entry to make sure your child is healthy and ready to learn.

Para proteger la salud de los niños, la ley de California exige que antes de ingresar a la escuela todos los niños tengan un examen médico de salud. Por favor, pidale al examinador de salud que llene este informe y entregelo a la escuela—este informe sera archivado por la escuela en forma confidencial.
