Student Health Requirements (Physical Exam & Immunizations)
Connecticut law requires all children who are entering Pre-K or Kindergarten to submit a current health assessment and proof of required immunizations before starting school. A physical exam must be completed within 12 months of entry using the official State of Connecticut Health Assessment Record (blue form for Kindergarten; yellow form for Pre-K). Students transferring into Seymour Schools District are also required to provide an updated physical exam, completed within 12 months. The first page of all forms must be completed by a parent/legal guardian, and the form must be signed and stamped by a licensed health care provider.
