What to do
Every child starting elementary school next April gets a free health check at a local school. The ward mails the date in mid-October; by law it is held by the end of November.
- Watch for the ward's notice in mid-October; it names the school, date and time.
- Fill in the health questionnaire (問診票, monshinhyō) before the day.
- Can't go on that date? Call the ward's school-affairs section (学務課, gakumuka) to switch to another school's date.
