School Physicals 
If your child is entering grades Pre-K, K, 2, 4, 7, or 10 in September, a mandated physical examination is required. Your private healthcare provider is the best person to conduct this exam. Make your appointment early as it can take three months to schedule exams over the busy summer. NYS law requires these exams, and schools are obligated to enforce the requirement. Please retain a copy of all certificates for your records before you submit them to the school nurse. Use the district Health Appraisal Form, found on the District Health Forms page, or submit to the nurse the completed printout from your private physician. See FAQ's About Physicals for more information.
 
Athletic Physicals

SPORTS PHYSICALS FROM YOUR PRIVATE PHYSICIAN WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. All potential North Tonawanda City School District athletes are required to obtain a sports physical every calendar year. According to the New York State Education Department Commissioner’s Regulations, specifically, CR135.4(c)(7)(i)- “It shall be the duty of the trustees and boards of education… to permit no pupil to participate in such activity without the approval of the school medical officer.”  Therefore, the only physical that is accepted by the District is one that is completed by the Board approved physician(s). To obtain an athletic physical, a student must sign up with the school nurse. Free physicals by our Board approved physician(s) will take place during the school year.
