ALL Students entering First Grade are required to provide a Report of Health Examination for School Entry (PM171A). This form needs to be completed and signed by your health care professional after your child receives this mandatory first grade school entry health examination.
When must the health examination be completed?
A health examination must be completed any time between 18 months
before first grade entry through 90 days after entry into first grade.
In the interest of ensuring the health of all school children and promoting success at school, the State of California requires all students to present documentation of this physical within 90 days of entering first grade (Health and Safety Code §124085).
Health examinations must be given after February 19 2015 to qualify as a CHDP Examination.

Let's make a plan to walk or ride to school this year!
1. It's Fun!
Walking and biking are fun ways to travel. There's so much to see, smell, touch, think and talk about along the way.
2. It's Healthy
Walking and biking are great ways to get fit or to stay strong and healthy. Regular exercise, even 10 minutes at a time, helps your heart, lungs and bones.
3. It's Educational
An active start to the day improves mood, concentration, creativity and problem- solving abilities. (That's true for adults, too!) Education doesn't have to start inside the school gate; children can learn about their neighborhood and become more self-reliant.
4. It's Non-polluting
Walking and biking trips cause no harmful emissions! Also, walkers and cyclists breathe less pollution than people inside an idling
or slow moving car.
5. It's Neighborly
Walking enables children and adults to make new friends and get to know their neighbors. Fewer cars outside the school entrance can improve the school's traffic problems, and it is safer for other children who walk.
6. It’s Less Stressful
Coordinating drop-off and pick-up schedules and driving in commute traffic can be a hassle for both children and adults.
7. It's a Chance to Teach and Learn Road Skills
Adults get to teach traffic safety and step out from the driver's perspective to get their children's point of view. Children can practice road safety skills before venturing out on their own.
8. It's Convenient
Children who walk or bike can go wherever they need to go, whenever they need to be there - whether it's school, home, the library or ball field.
9. It's Economical
Fewer car trips = lower gasoline costs. Each time you walk or bike instead of use a car you save money on gas and maintenance. When more children walk and bike regularly, schools can save money by having fewer buses.
10. It's Safer
The presence of walkers and cyclists cues drivers to slow their speeds and use caution. Neighborhoods become a place where everyone can safely play, live and travel throughout the week, not just during school commute times.

If you are seeking busing for your child in the 2016-2017 school year, please note the following information.
At the start of every school year, new applications and documents are needed to ensure that your child receives transportation to and from school. No student will be allowed to board any bus without a picture-verified, district-issued bus pass. This pass will ensure the continued safety of your child while riding our buses, as well as ensure that students are dropped off at the correct locations both in the morning and afternoon.
Applications and the dates and locations for submitting them are available by calling 408-364-4200, or online at www.campbellusd.org/busapply.
