Dear Parents,

The Massachusetts State Department of Public Health requires physical examinations for children prior to entering the fourth grade. The School Health Department urges you to have this physical performed by your family doctor, since they can best evaluate your child’s needs.

A copy of your child’s physical examination form should be forwarded to the Hopkins School Nurses office prior to September 4, 2013.

State law mandates immunization rules and exclusion from school can result if a child does not have the proper immunizations. Please feel free to contact me at 508-497-9861 with any questions.

Sincerely,

Kathy Bain, R.N.

Elmwood School Nurse
