CHS Nurse's Office
Welcome to the Carmel High School Nurses' Office
Please be advised that New York State Requires that all ninth and eleventh grade students receive a physical examination.
Your family physician is best informed about your child's health; therefore we encourage parents/guardians to have the family physician perform this examination. In the event there is no family physician or if parents/guardians prefer the examination be done in school, the school nurse can arrange to have your child examined by our school physician.
The NYS Health Examination form is required and must be completed by a physician and submitted to the Carmel High School Nurse's office on or before the first day of school.
