ANNUAL STATE-MANDATED SCREENINGS DONE BY THE SCHOOL NURSE

The Pennsylvania School Health Code mandates that all immunization records and physicals are required of new or transfer students to Penn-Trafford School District. They will be reviewed prior to your child's first day of school.

 

Please bring a copy of your child's immunization record and physical to the Nurse's office for review or your child will not be permitted to begin school. There will be no exceptions to this mandate. In addition, Student Emergency Contact Information and Student Health Forms must be completed in the Parent Portal of PowerSchool.

 

 

 

Call the school office and ask to speak with the school nurse for more information.
