Back-to-School Physicals in Port St. Lucie: What Your Child Needs Before the First Day
It’s that time of year again… fresh school supplies, packed lunches, and getting your kids ready for a new academic year. But one of the most important back-to-school tasks isn’t found on a supply list: your child’s annual physical.
At Blue Skies Health & Wellness Clinic, we make back-to-school physicals quick, easy, and comprehensive so your child starts the school year healthy and ready to learn.
What’s Included in a Back-to-School Exam?
A back-to-school physical is a full evaluation of your child’s overall health and development. During your visit, our provider will check:
✅ Height and weight tracking
✅ Vision and hearing screenings
✅ Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, etc.)
✅ Immunization status and required vaccines
✅ Developmental milestones and behavioral health
✅ Review of any ongoing conditions or medications
If your child plans to participate in sports, we can also complete the sports clearance exam and required FHSAA physical forms.
Required Health Forms for Florida Students
In the state of Florida, most schools require updated health forms before the school year begins:
Florida School Entry Health Form (DH 3040) – Required for all students entering school in Florida for the first time, including kindergarteners.
Immunization Record (DH 680) – Proof that your child is up to date on required vaccines.

We’ll provide and complete the appropriate forms for you during your visit—no extra appointments needed.
