New York State law requires that all incoming kindergarten students have a physical and a dental health exam before entering school. Parents must bring a certificate stamped by a doctor, physician's assistant or nurse practitioner describing the student's physical condition. A current immunization record or proof of exemption must also be submitted.

Parents should bring the following identification to prove the child's age: a birth certificate, baptismal certificate or passport to prove the child's age. To prove the guardian's identity, bring as a valid, state-issued driver or non-driver ID card, a state or military picture ID. If applicable, bring proof of guardianship.
