Health Forms
Physical evaluations are still required for the 2020–2021 academic year. For the upcoming school year only, Upper School students who are not participating in athletics will not need to submit a physical evaluation. Doctors’ offices are taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of all patients. Physicals are required for all new students as well as those who will be entering Tiny Torreys, Jr. Kindergarten, kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grades 7–12 (No physicals needed for Grades 2–6 and for students in Grades 9–12 who are not participating in athletics) prior to the start of the upcoming school year.

Immunizations
California law (SB 277) was passed January 1, 2016, that states:
- California schools can no longer permit immunization exemptions based on personal or religious beliefs for children in childcare and public and private schools
- Students transferring from a California school with Personal Belief Exemptions submitted before January 1, 2016, will remain valid until a pupil reaches kindergarten or seventh grade
Physical Examinations
Physicals are required for all new students as well as those who will be entering Tiny Torreys, Jr. Kindergarten, kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grades 7-12 (No physicals needed for Grades 2-6) prior to the start of the upcoming school year. The physical evaluations must be completed by a doctor (licensed in the United States) on or after May 1 and submitted by August 1. If your child’s physician is unable to see your child in time to meet this timeline, we suggest you have the exam completed at a CVS Minute Clinic. They perform school/sports physicals for a nominal fee on a walk-in basis.
FOR ALL UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS AND FOR SPORTS STARTING PRIOR TO THE START OF SCHOOL: The physical exam needs to be performed by a licensed physician and needs to be completed in its entirety and returned to health services by August 1. If the student is participating in any fall sports, and practices begin prior to August 1, the physical must be completed and turned in prior to the start of sport practices. Students will not be allowed to participate in any sports until immunizations are up to date and the physical has been completed and turned in.
FOR ALL STUDENTS: Students will not be allowed to attend the first day of classes until immunizations are up to date and the physical has been completed and turned in.

Health and Emergency Form
The health and emergency form is required for all students annually. You will receive an email from the school in late July/early August when this form is live. Please fill out the form prior to the start of school. After registration is complete, please contact health services if you need to make changes to this form.
Medication Administration Release Forms
No students are allowed to carry medications of any kind without permission of the parent and school nurse.
Students taking prescription medications during school hours will need to have a Prescription Medication Administration Release Form filled out in its entirety prior to the start of school each school year. No medication will be allowed or given at school until this form is submitted, even if the medication was given at school the previous year. The form can be found by grade level - click on expanding menu.
PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS
Prescription Medications administered during school hours need to be in the original prescription container and in a Ziploc bag labeled with the child’s name, grade, parents' names, two emergency phone numbers and a current picture of the child. It is best to take the prescription medication form with you to your physical since the form must be signed by your physician.
OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION
The health and emergency form parents complete online during registration covers the following over-the-counter medications. Parents will need to submit this form only once during the school year.
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
- Ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil)
- Decongestant (Sudafed)
- Antihistamines (Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec)
- Tums
It is to the discretion of the school nurse or designated health provider to administer any over the counter medications. It is best to give any medication at home prior to arrival at school. The first dose of any medication should never be given at school. ALL MEDICATIONS MUST BE PICKED UP BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR OR THEY WILL BE DISCARDED.
