As the new school year approaches, many families are buying school supplies, signing up for activities, and completing required paperwork. For some students, that also means scheduling a school physical before classes or sports begin.

At Clinic With A Heart, we offer annual free school physical clinics to help families get the care they need at no cost. Our goal is to make healthcare more accessible for people in our community.

If you are looking for school physicals in Lincoln, our clinic may be able to help.

Why School Physicals Matter

School physicals are an important part of preparing for the year ahead. They give healthcare providers an opportunity to review a student’s overall health and address potential health concerns.

For the 2026–27 school year, Lincoln Public Schools requires evidence of a physical examination for students entering kindergarten and seventh grade, as well as students transferring from out of state. Families should check with LPS or their child’s school for current requirements and required documentation.

Getting a physical completed before the school year begins can help families have the necessary paperwork ready and avoid last-minute scheduling.

Sports Physicals for Student Athletes

Students who plan to participate in athletics may need a sports physical before practices or competitions begin. Lincoln Public Schools requires student athletes to complete the appropriate physical and participation requirements before taking part in school sports.

Requirements can vary depending on the activity, so families should check with their child’s school to make sure they have the correct forms and documentation. Planning ahead can help students complete these requirements before the season begins.

Clinic With A Heart offers free school physical clinics seasonally to help students get required school or sports physicals at no cost.
