One generic signature for all documents is unacceptable. 

You may email, print, OR arrange a pick up of these documents from the school nurse, athletic director, or school secretary. 

Virtual and paper copy submissions are accepted. 

NOTICE

•  Incomplete documents will be returned for resubmission.

• Documents will not be accepted after deadline.

As per state requirements, sports physicals are required in order to participate in all school athletic programs.  You are encouraged to have your physical completed by your personal family physician. A great time to have that done is over the summer.  Please read the following information:

PREPARTICIPATION PHYSICAL EVALUATION

The preparticipation physical evaluation may ONLY be completed by a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse (APN) or physician assistant (PA) that has completed the Student-Athlete Cardiac Assessment professional development module.  It is recommended that you verify that your medical provider has completed this module before scheduling an appointment.  The medical provider must complete the physical exam form (PAGE 3) and the sports clearance form (PAGE 4).   

• The physical and associated forms need to be completed yearly and the physical exam must have been completed within 365 days prior to the start of practice.  

  1. PART 1: PAGE 1  (HISTORY FORM) and PAGE 2  (SUPPLEMENTAL HISTORY FORM) are to be completed by the parent/guardian and student athlete. If your student athlete has special needs, then PAGE 2 must be completed with PAGE 1.

  2. PART 2: PAGE 3 (PHYSICAL EXAM FORM) and PAGE 4 (SPORTS CLEARANCE FORM) are to be completed by a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse (APN) or physician assistant (PA) that has completed the Student-Athlete Cardiac Assessment professional development module.  

• All the forms must be reviewed and signed off by our school physician. All forms must be turned in by set deadlines to allow time for this review and to receive clearance to participate. Please keep in mind your student is not cleared for participation until this review! 

• If your student has medical concerns, such as asthma or life threatening allergies, all relevant paperwork and medication must be on file with the nurse prior to sports participation. 

HEALTH HISTORY UPDATE QUESTIONNAIRE

• If your student has played a sport this school year and has received a physical, a new physical exam is not required.  In its place, a health history update questionnaire must be completed and signed by the parent/guardian. 

• This form is to be completed with each new sport, following the first sport participated in for the year. Your student will NOT be cleared to participate in a new season without this form.
