At Grade 7, additional requirements for immunizations include:
3 doses Hepatitus B (follow the same dosing requirements as listed above
1 Varicella vaccine (Chicken Pox) or documentation of the disease.
Note: Children under age 13 receive ONE dose of the vaccine while children over 13 receive TWO  doses at least 28 days apart.

Physical and Dental Exams

The Pennsylvania School Health Law requires that children in Grades K, 6 and 11 have a physical examination; and children in Grades K, 3 and 7 have a dental examination.

For obvious reasons these examinations are best performed by your own doctor or dentist; especially for careful follow-up and treatment that may be necessary.

To assist your doctor or dentist, there is a form enclosed which is to be completed and returned to the School not later than October 15th.

If your child had a physical or dental exam since last September, it will be acceptable. Please have the form filled out and signed by your doctor or dentist and return it before October 15th.

In the event this completed form is not returned by October 15th, the physical examination or dental examination will be given by the School doctor or dentist during the school year at your child’s school.
