Required School Physicals; May 14 Appointments

The Pennsylvania School Health Act requires a medical examination for students entering kindergarten or first grade, sixth grade, and eleventh grade.

Families have two options for completing this requirement:

Option 1: Visit Your Family Physician (Recommended)

We encourage families to schedule the exam with their own physician, who has a more complete understanding of your child's medical history. Completed physical forms should be submitted to your school nurse.

Option 2: Schedule a School Physical

If preferred, your child may be examined by our school physician, Dr. Louis Gianguilio, at no cost. School physicals will take place:

• Wednesday, May 14
• Appointments (required) begin at 2 p.m.
• Northley Middle School (2801 Concord Rd, Aston)

To Schedule a School Physical:

• Call Mrs. Betsy King, RN at 610-497-6300 x6505 by Monday, May 12 to schedule an appointment. Please note: No students will be examined without a scheduled appointment.
• Download the physical form on the Penn-Delco Health Services page or request one from your school nurse.
• Complete the Parent History section of the form before the appointment.
• Accompany your child to Northley at the assigned time with the completed form.

Please note: Immunizations will not be given at this appointment.
