Dear Parents and Guardians, New York State Education Law Article 19 and Regulations of the Commissioner of Education require students in grades Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and new entrants to Otselic Valley Central School to receive a physical examination. Community Memorial Hospital will be available at our school on several occasions to perform physicals on the students in these selected grades. The physicals are free and include a complete head to toe assessment. If your child is in 6th or 7th grade, they may require a Tanner assessment if they indicate to us they are going to play a sport either this year or next year. If your child has already had a physical examination by their own practitioner, please have the doctor's office fax a copy to me prior to May 2, 2022. My fax number is 315-653-7267. If we do not have proof of a physical in your child's medical chart by May 2, 2022, a physical will be performed by Community Memorial Hospital at our school per New York State requirements. Sincerely, Stacie Morse, RN, BSN School Nurse smorse@ovcs.org Fax 315-653-7267
