If your child has never been registered for school anywhere in the United States before, we will need a copy of their birth certificate to provide proof of age. If they have been registered in another school, we will receive that information from them.

Proof of Residency

In order to attend a school within the Malone Central School District, the child and parents' residence must be within our district boundaries. (For more information on those boundaries, please see the Attendance Zones page.)

Proof of Immunization, Lead Screening (children under 6) & Physical Examination

Immunization

As a new entrant, there are important immunization requirements that the New York State Department of Health mandates we have on record. You will find a list of the minimum requirements for entry to school on the New York State Department of Health School Vaccination Requirements page. 

Parents of students enrolling are responsible for providing proof of immunizations. The following list identifies the acceptable forms of documentation:

• A certificate from a physician, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner.

• A military dependent's shot record.

• An immunization record card signed by a physician, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner.

• An immunization registry record.

• The immunization portion of a passport.

If you are entering from within New York State, you have 14 calendar days to provide us with this information. If you are entering from another state, you have 30 days to provide us with the information. If we do not obtain the required immunization information within the specified time, your child will be excluded from school until such time as this information is provided.

Lead Screening

NYS Public Health Law requires school nurses to obtain proof that children under the age of six years have been screened for lead.

• Please contact your child's physician to provide this information to the school nurse..

• If you think your child has not been screened for lead or you are unsure if they have been screened, please contact your child's physician. (NYS Department of Health mandates lead screening for all children at age 1 year and again at age 2).

For further information from the CDC about lead poisoning in children, lead poisoning prevention, and the dangers and health risks of elevated blood lead levels, please click here.

Physical Examination

In addition, new entrants are required to have a physical examination within 30 days of the first day of attendance. This exam may be conducted by your family physician, pediatrician, or by the school physician. If your child has had a physical within the past 12 months, please contact your school nurse who will provide an appropriate form for your doctor to complete. Unless notified of other arrangements, your child will be scheduled to see the school physician.

A complete physical exam includes eyes, ears, throat, heart, lungs, hernia (boys), posture, and extremities. Please discuss the parts of the complete physical with your child to help prevent any misgivings about the school physical. Parents will be notified of any abnormalities.

If you completed the online versions of the required forms, you do not need to submit hardcopies of the forms, but we will need the required documentation for age, proof of residency and immunizations. If you downloaded the forms and then filled them out, you will need to get those to us, as well as the required documentation detailed above.
