Some main points to consider when preparing
your child for middle school:

• 6th graders are required to have proof of the Tdap immunization on file. 
• 7th graders require a current physical exam on file, and proof of the Meningococcal conjugate immunization is mandatory before the start of the school year.
• 7th graders are screened for hearing and vision. Scoliosis screenings are provided for females unless documented in their current physical exam.
• Athletics (7th & 8th grade): An annual physical exam on the NYS form is recommended after June 1st or within 12 months of the sports start date. Self-Carry medication and use form is required for emergency medications such as EpiPens, inhalers, and diabetes supplies
