Health Assessment Information

Health Assessments communicate information from the parents and physicians for all children entering public schools for the first time in North Carolina. Health issues that affect learning are addressed.

State law requires that every child entering public schools in NC receive a health assessment.  The assessment must be done in the 12 months prior to entering school.  

The medical provider, parent or legal guardian must provided a completed NC Health Transmittal Form to the school on or before the child's first day of attendance.  Many local health departments and healthcare providers across the state perform these assessments.

These NC Health Transmittal Forms are available for pickup at Kindergarten registration, in most school offices, at physican offices, or online (links below).
