Health News
If your child is moving on to Kindergarten next fall, please provide a copy of their most recent Physical, with immunizations, to Nurse Kristen. If they have an upcoming 5th year appointment, please share once that physical has been completed. There will be reminders again later in the spring to submit this information along with further guidance for those students who turn 5 in the summer. This will help get a jump on the process, as Massachusetts requires a 5-year-old Physical with Immunizations prior to Kindergarten entry.
You may do so by:
Email/scan - lynchk@chelmsford.k12.ma.us
Fax - Attn: School Kristen Lynch (978)-251-5154 OR (978) 251-0732
Paper Copy - please inform if sending in backpack.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you need assistance finding a family practitioner, please reach out!
πIn the meantime, continue to enjoy their CHIPS experience!π
