Additional Resources

• Information regarding before and after school child care is available from the School Aged Child Care (SACC) department.
• New Jersey Law mandates that every student entering a New Jersey Public School, regardless of the transferring locations, must present a Physical Exam signed by a licensed physician. The physical must have been completed within 365 days prior to the student’s registration in Cherry Hill Public School District, and is due in the nurse’s office within 30 days of registration. If your student is entering grades 5-12 and may play a sport, the physician must complete the state mandated Sports Physical Form. All sports, interscholastic or intramural, require a current sports physical. The sports physical form will be accepted as an entrance physical. The Universal Health record does not meet the criteria for sports.
