In order to assure optimum health of students and
comply with Child Health and Disability Program
(CHDP) state statute, the Board requires all students
to have a health assessment no more than six months
prior to entering kindergarten.
In order to enter the schools of this District,
all kindergarten and first grade first time entrants
must provide a certificate approved by the California
State Department of Health or a qualified physician
documenting that the child has received the
appropriate health assessment.
A waiver signed by the child’s parents or
legal guardian indicating that they do not want or
are unable to obtain such health assessment for their
child shall be accepted by the school in lieu of the
certificate.
