Your 5th grade student will need to have some things completed prior to registering for their 6th grade school year. They will need to have a current school physical completed (NOT A SPORTS PHYSICAL), the school physical will count as their sports physical so you DO NOT need to have a separate physical done if they intend to play sports. They will also need to have a Tdap and meningococcal vaccine given if not already done. These vaccines are primarily given at age 11. You will be receiving your child's health forms that need to be completed in the mail. Please watch for these and do not wait until the last minute to have them completed, the physicians fill their appointments quickly. Also your child will need to have a dental exam completed by May 15, 2026. Dental Safari will come to see our students in September if you would like to utilize that option. More information will come on Dental Safari. If you have any questions please call me at 618-262-5104, ext 1112. Stephanie Kolb RN, BSN, PEL-CSN
