DCPS requires that health physicals and oral health assessments be conducted annually. Students must also be current with their immunizations to attend school. A series of medical forms should be turned in to the school as part of the enrollment process, and any updated forms throughout the school year should be submitted to the school nurse. The following documents are required:
