Required 4th Grade Physical Exams:

Massachusetts Department of Public Health regulations require a physical examination, including documentation of immunizations, and vision screening in kindergarten, fourth grade, seventh grade and tenth grade, and for transfer students into any grade. This good health practice exists for the prevention and early detection of health problems as well as for the protection of all children in the public school system. For all students currently in 4th grade or 5th grade who did not submit a physical, please forward a copy of this physical exam at your earliest convenience.
You may email it to me at lkilduff@nrsd.net, or via secure nurse fax at 978-965-3967.

Practice will start the week of April 6th and run for 8 weeks. It will end the week of June 1st. No session over April break.
