Healthy Children Are More Productive In School

La Maestra wants your child to be healthy to get the most out of school.

Early and regular health check-ups can find, prevent and treat many health problems before they become serious.

That is why California has a law requiring that all children must have a health checkup before they enter the first grade.

The health checkups must be completed a year and a half (18 months) prior or 90 days after your child begins first grade to meet the school entry requirement.

A health checkup includes:

  • A health history and physical examination
  • Urine, blood, and tuberculosis (TB) tests
  • Dental Screening
  • Nutritional Assessment
  • Vision and Hearing Tests
  • Immunizations, if necessary
  • Developmental Assessment
  • Other tests if needed

If you are not able to pay for this appointment, please contact La Maestra’s Outreach and Eligibility office for more information or review the attached literature from the County of San Diego.
