Physical Examinations
The New Jersey Department of Education recognizes the importance of medical examinations and documentation is required upon entry into the school district. Subsequent physical exams are recommended at least once during each developmental stage:
- Early childhood (preschool through grade three)
- Pre-adolescence (grade four through six)
- Adolescence (grade seven through 12)
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends yearly routine well-child visits beginning at age 3. Regular checkups are an important way to keep track of your child’s health and development. Please see the resources below concerning well-child care:
