Colchester Public Schools

Per Connecticut State guidelines, students are required to have physical examinations in the following grades:

• Every year of Pre-K
• Kindergarten
• Sixth grade (To be completed after Jan. 1st of your child’s fifth grade year)
• Tenth grade (To be completed after Jan. 1st of your child’s ninth grade year)

The “blue” State of Connecticut Health Assessment form must be completed by your child’s physician with all required immunization dates noted. The front of this form is to be completed by the students’ parent or legal guardian. Completed physicals should be given to your child’s school nurse. If parents/guardians need help in this area they are encouraged to contact the school nurse.

One exclusion to immunization requirements that are allowed in Connecticut.

• A healthcare provider must complete the state's medical exemption form. Other forms cannot be accepted.

Please call the school nurse with any questions or concerns.

It is advised to keep a copy of your child’s physical form and immunizations for your records!
