Grade 7 Physicals


                                                                                                              February 8, 2017
Dear Parent/Guardian:

            Your seventh grade child is scheduled to have a school health examination under the authority of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 71, Section 56.  All children in grades three, seven and ten are required to have a current, completed physical exam on file in their school health record.

            Your family physician has comprehensive knowledge of the health status of your child.  Therefore, we strongly feel that your own physician should complete this examination.  If this exam is completed by your physician, please return a copy of the completed physical form to the school nurse.

            If your child is unable to see a physician of their own, we are offering incoming seventh grade physicals at the Memorial Middle School in the spring by the school physician, Dr. Martin Iser.  There will not be a make-up session.  This physical may include any of the body area, such as head, chest, abdomen, external genitalia, and extremities, as well as other areas listed on the attached form.

            Parent/Guardian must fill out the medical questionnaire on the attached form, sign the permission slip below and return both to the school nurse by Friday, March 3, 2017.

                                                                        Sincerely,

                                                                        Sharon M. Striglio, R.N.
                                                                        School Nurse
