The exam is valid if it is within the twelve months prior to the start of the school year. Any physical performed by a New York State physician on or after September 1, 2024 will be considered current.

School Dismissal Manager
Absences, late arrival, early dismissal, and changes to your child's daily dismissal are managed via School Dismissal Manager (SDM). SDM is a program that allows you to quickly and easily make changes/updates at the click of a button on a smartphone or computer. SDM eliminates the need for notes, emails and phone calls to the Front Office.
This easy-to-use program allows you to make changes for the current day or in advance for future dates. You can also schedule recurring dismissals.
A separate email will be sent from SDM with additional information for the 2025-2026 school year.
Thank you for using this tool to help us keep the dismissal process safe and orderly for all of our students and staff. Please contact us at 914-666-2677 or email lclark2407@bcsdny.org if you have any questions or concerns.
