The most obvious place to start is with the school supply list that covers folders, pencils, markers, paper, and all day-to-day items they will need to have a successful year of learning. These items are typically purchased close to when school starts. However, one place to start now is with your child’s health.
School Enrollment Requirements
Evidence of a Physical Exam
Must be completed within 12 months prior to the child's school entry date. Parents may submit the School Entry Health Exam (DH 3040) or provide a copy of an exam obtained from their current health care provider that includes the components of DH 3040.
- Parents should obtain a copy of their child's medical history/medical exam before leaving their current state of residency when moving to Florida.
Florida Certification of Immunization or Exemption
