Prior to school enrollment, you will be sent a notice to attend a medical checkup for your child. The notice will inform you of the date and location for the medical checkup and should reach you by the middle of the October of the year prior to that in which your child will enter public elementary school (This notice is also sent to non-Japanese resident families at the same time, and is in addition to the school enrollment procedure that must be completed by the end of November if you wish to enroll your child in a public school). Note that you should contact the Health and School-Lunch Section early in either of the following cases:
If you do not receive the medical checkup notice before school enrollment, or if the information in the notice is incorrect
If attending the medical checkup on the specified date and time would be difficult due to illness or some other reason
If attending school would be difficult due to any disorder or disease
