Kindergarten Health Assesment
The North Carolina Kindergarten Health Assessment (KHA) form is mailed annually to the central office of each LEA (Local Education Agency) and to the central office of each LHD (Local Health Department) in the early spring. Other schools (charter schools, private schools) and Health Care Providers can obtain the form by downloading the pdf file (see link below).

School systems and health care providers should discard (recycle) unused forms from previous years that may be in storage, as the only acceptable form for North Carolina kindergarten entry is the form dated 2008 (or facsimile of it).

All components of the exam form are to be completed by the health care provider except the sections reserved for parents to complete.

If you have any questions about the KHA form, please call the School Health Unit Administrative Assistant at 919.707.5671 or e-mail Rebecca Bartz. If you have questions about the KHA content, please call the State School Nurse Consultant at 919.707.5667 or email Jessica Gerdes.
