NYCDOE Medical Information For Families

Healthier students are better learners. We want to support your child’s health to make your child more successful inside and outside of school. To help manage your child’s health needs in school, we require you and your child’s health care provider to complete certain forms. Using these forms helps assure that your child gets the care and services they need during the school day.

New Admission Examination

Is your child starting school or child care for the first time? Before school starts, make sure your child receives a complete physical exam from a health care provider.

The physical exam should cover the following:

  • Medical History

  • Height

  • Weight

  • Body Mass Index

  • Vision Exam

  • Blood Pressure

  • Nutritional Evaluation

  • Dental Exam

  • Developmental Assessment

  • Hearing Exam

  • Immunizations

Your child must also be tested for lead presence and anemia if they are receiving childcare for the first time (including pre-K classes).
